Special events schedule
Express lanes remaining in northbound direction 24 hours a day Jan. 9 - June
The I-5 express lanes will remain in the northbound direction around-the-clock, beginning Friday night, Jan. 9 until June. This is to facilitate the upcoming lane reductions on northbound I-5 as part of the Revive I-5 project. There are no exits from the northbound express lanes to downtown Seattle or SR 520. Southbound I-5 travelers should plan for additional delays and congestion due to the express lanes remaining northbound.
