Project overview
This two-year rehabilitation project will replace 56 expansion joints and repave 1.25 miles of southbound I-5 between I-90 and Spokane Street. This project is one of dozens that make up Revive I-5, which will rehabilitate the I-5 corridor in the King County area in the next 10 years.
What to expect
The next weekend of work on southbound I-5 from I-90 to Spokane Street is scheduled from 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 3, to 5 a.m. Monday, June 6. Crews will replace expansion joints on the right side. The off-ramps to Forest Street, Columbian Way and Spokane Street will be closed.
No work is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, May 28-30.
During construction, people who drive this section of I-5 should consider:
- Using Sound Transit bus or light rail or Metro Transit
- Carpooling
- If possible, travel early (before 8 a.m.) or late (after 8 p.m.)
This is one of about 16 weekends with lane reductions between now and fall 2022.
During 2022 southbound I-5 will have weekend-long lane closures and night closures between I-90 and Spokane Street in 2022 so crews can replace 35 expansion joints on the freeway and 10 on- or off-ramps. In 2021 we repaved this 1.25-mile section of the freeway and replaced several expansion joints.
