President Joe Biden’s visit to Seattle on Friday and Saturday isn’t the only thing that will complicate traffic in the Puget Sound region this weekend.

  • The State Route 520 Bridge will be closed from 11 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday. The closure spans from Interstate 5 in Seattle to 92nd Avenue Northeast in Clyde Hill. Lake Washington Boulevard will also be closed.
  • Revive I-5 work will reduce the northbound lanes from mid-Boeing Field to South Bailey Street from 11 p.m. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday.
  • The two left lanes of eastbound Interstate 90 will be closed in the Mount Baker Tunnel from 10 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday. Crews will clean cameras and fire extinguishers and test and inspect phones and hydrants.
  • Northbound I-5 will be reduced to one lane between Everett and Marysville from 9 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Monday as the Washington State Department of Transporation works on the Marine View Drive Project.

In addition, there are 6:40 p.m. Mariners games at T-Mobile Park on Friday and Saturday, and one at 1:10 p.m. on Sunday. There’s also a 7 p.m. concert at Climate Pledge Arena Friday.
