BURLINGTON – Crews will close the right lane of northbound I-5 in Burlington to continue improvements to the SR 20 interchange (exit 230). This work is part of the ongoing construction to widen SR 20 between SR 536 (Memorial Highway) and I-5 and to improve the I-5 interchange.

The right lane will be closed near the interchange from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night Monday, July 28 through Thursday, July 31. The on- and off-ramps will remain open.

Next week, crews will begin widening near the interchange to improve the northbound on- and off ramps.

For more information on the SR 20 widening project, please visit the project Web site at www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/SR20/sr536fredonia.

More closures and detours can be expected during the remainder of the project. Drivers are encouraged to sign up for SR 20 e-mail updates at www.wsdot.wa.gov/Northwest/EmailUpdates.
