People can prepare for around-the-clock lane closures and delays during the next phase of Revive I-5 in the heart of Seattle
SEATTLE – Much needed work to bring a smoother ride to Interstate 5 in the heart of Seattle is about to kick off, and travelers will want to prepare in advance.
Beginning spring 2025, contractors working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will reduce sections of I-5 to two lanes on the Ship Canal Bridge and south to Yesler Way. The lane closures, which will be in place for nine months each of the next three years, give crews a protected space to work in.
WSDOT is inviting people to learn more about the I-5/Yesler Way to Northgate Way Vicinity project at an online open house starting Thursday, Nov. 21.
During the project, contractors will also repave and restore approximately 30 ramps in the project area. This project is the next phase of Revive I-5, which restores the freeway in King and Snohomish counties.
The online open house is designed to help the public learn more about the project, what to expect during construction, and why this work is necessary. It includes maps, timelines of tentative schedules, as well as what people can expect during the long-term lane closures.
