Seattle, Washington I-5 Traffic | I-5 Construction | I-5 Exit Guide

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reports that most state highway construction will pause Friday through Tuesday, May 23-27 to help ease Memorial Day holiday traffic congestion, though some temporary lane shifts, closures or adjusted bike lanes may remain in place for travel.

Holiday weekends often mean increased traffic and delays along state highways, waterways, airports and pedestrian trails. Travelers should be patient, expect delays and stay alert. Delays may also occur as crews respond to crashes or conduct emergency repairs. Washington state ferry routes also are expected to be busy and reservations are strongly encouraged on routes that offer them.

While no major construction is planned over the holiday weekend, work zone speed cameras may still be active in areas where speeding has been an ongoing issue and crews are present.
