Memorial Day weekend often signals the unofficial start of summer – and a significant increase in travel across Washington.
To help people plan ahead, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reports that most state highway construction (including I-5) work is suspended through the holiday weekend – including both Friday, May 22 and Monday, May 25 – to ease congestion. However, travelers should stay alert for lane shifts or work zone staging that may remain in place. Emergency repairs and crash response can still occur, so drivers need to give crews plenty of space to work safely.
