EVERETT – Drivers can expect lane closures on southbound and northbound Interstate 5 through south Everett on Thursday night while crews upgrade signs.

Drivers should plan ahead for the following closures:

• Thursday, Sept. 11 –Friday, Sept. 12 - Crews will close the two left lanes of northbound I-5 from the 128th Street bridge to the 112th Street bridge from 7 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday.
• Thursday, Sept. 11 –Friday, Sept. 12 – Crews will close the two left lanes of southbound I-5 from SR 526 to the 112th Street bridge from 7 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday.
  

This work is part of the new Sound Transit South Everett Freeway Station, which is scheduled to open Sunday, Sept. 21. New ramps will allow buses, carpools and vanpools to go directly to and from the I-5 HOV lanes to a new 400-stall park-and-ride lot located in the median at 112th Street SE. Drivers traveling alone can access the new park-and-ride lot from 112th Street SE. For more information, visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/i5/SouthEverett

Drivers can now get real time traffic and weather information by dialing 5-1-1 from most phones. This new traveler information system builds upon the highly successful Washington State Highway hotline that managed 4.6 million calls each year. Callers can also use 5-1-1 to get statewide construction, mountain pass condition, and state ferry system information, as well as toll free numbers for passenger rail and airlines. TTY users can call 1-800-833-6388.
