SEATTLE — WSDOT is warning drivers who rely on I-5 through downtown to plan for overnight closures starting Monday.
The closure comes as crews prepare to install new electronic signs and wiring as part of the I-5 Seneca to State Route 520 mobility project.
“Travelers should expect nightly closures starting at 11 p.m. Monday, Dec. 18, through 4 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 20,” said a spokesperson. “During this work, I-5 northbound will close mainline and collector/distributor lanes from the I-90 interchange to Olive Way.
The northbound express lanes will remain open, however, the westbound I-90 to northbound I-5 ramp will close and a signed detour will be available to drivers.
Since the Dearborn, Cherry, James, and Madison street ramps will all be closed, officials are suggesting that drivers exit by Edgar Martinez Drive.
