I-5/Seattle - Enhanced Ramp Metering - Complete February 2024

Project overview

We installed new overhead ramp meters at the Swift Avenue South, South Michigan Street/South Bailey Street and Northeast 50th Street on-ramps to northbound Interstate 5 in Seattle. The new ramp meters regulate both the general purpose lanes and the HOV lanes. They replaced existing ramp meters that did not regulate freeway access from the HOV lanes.
