Project overview
Along a 12-mile stretch of southbound Interstate 5 in Whatcom and Skagit counties between milepost 243 just north of Nulle Road to milepost 231 near the State Route 11/Chuckanut Drive interchange the pavement was worn, and the pavement was full of cracks, ruts and potholes along the highway. The improvements included HMA paving, concrete panel replacement, diamond grinding, shoulder repair, weigh station upgrades and rumble strip replacements and new pavement markings.
What to expect
The project was completed in September 2023 and provides a smoother surface and safer ride for all travelers. Travelers should not expect to see any construction-related delays in the project area.

Interstate 5 is an important and vital highway that is in need of rehabilitation. Contractor crews will work during summer 2023 to improve the structural integrity of the highway by filling cracks and potholes and smoothing ruts as well as repairing and replacing several concrete panels as needed. This work will extend the life of the highway and provide a smoother and safer ride for all travelers.
