Multiple night lane closures on I-5 in Seattle this weekend

Tuesday, July 19, 2022

Work on I-5 will continue all summer
Photo courtesy WSDOT
SEATTLE – It’s going to be a busy weekend of work on Interstate 5 in Seattle, which means people who rely on the region’s busiest freeway will need to plan ahead, particularly at night.

The Washington State Department of Transportation plans three separate closures for construction and maintenance beginning Friday night, July 22. 

The closures include: 
  • 7:30pm Friday, July 22, to 5am Monday, July 25: Southbound I-5 will be reduced to two lanes with all traffic going through the collector/distributor.
  • 11pm Friday, July 22, to 6am Saturday, July 23: Southbound I-5 will be closed between Stewart and Spring streets. A signed detour will be in place.
  • 11pm Saturday, July 23 to 7am Sunday, July 24: Two right lanes of northbound I-5 will be closed from the State Route 520 exit to Northeast 45th Street for bridge maintenance.

The multiple closures are necessary, said WSDOT Traffic Engineer Mike Swires, because of the amount of work the agency has this year and in the future.

“Because so much of our work is weather dependent, we need to get as much work done as possible during the summer,” Swires said. “In the coming years, we will have several major projects at once on I-5, I-405 and I-90, among other highways. Like this weekend, some of the closures needed by these projects will overlap.”

Northbound I-5 lanes closed overnight in Mountlake Terrace Friday through Sunday

Saturday, May 21, 2022

Crews working on the Lynnwood Link Extension closed the northbound lanes of I-5 between SR 104 and 220th Ave SW in Mountlake Terrace (MLT) overnight Friday, May 20, 2022.

They will be closed again on Saturday 11pm to 6:30am.

On Sunday, the northbound lanes will close as early as 11pm and will reopen at 4am the following morning.

For all three nights, the SR 104 eastbound and westbound on-ramps will close at 9pm. Traffic will be detoured and will rejoin I-5 at 220th Street SW. The MLT Flyover south and north ramps will remain closed all weekend.

To minimize impacts to drivers, northbound I-5 traffic will need to follow designated detour routes. 

Southbound traffic lanes will remain open.

The closure is necessary for the removal of falsework for span supports. The falsework, which was erected in the fall of 2020, is a temporary steel column system between and outside of the girders used to support the construction of the concrete deck on top of which the light rail trains will travel.

Lynnwood Link will extend light rail into Snohomish County, serving four stations, Shoreline South/148th, Shoreline North/185th, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood City Center. 

Upon its opening, riders will enjoy fast, frequent and reliable service between south Snohomish County and the University of Washington, downtown Seattle, the Eastside, Sea-Tac Airport and more. For more information, please visit https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion/lynnwood-link-extension.
