Northbound I-5 in Seattle to close from I-90 to Northeast 45th Street weekend of June 5-8
Revive I-5 work zone will be removed for world championship soccer matches in Seattle
People traveling to, through and around Seattle should plan for a weekend-long full closure of northbound Interstate 5 from I-90 to Northeast 45th Street the weekend of June 5-8 as construction barriers are removed.
Beginning at 9 p.m., Friday, June 5, on- and off-ramps along this section of northbound I-5 are scheduled to begin closing, with mainline northbound I-5 scheduled to be fully closed at 11:59 p.m. All northbound lanes and ramps will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, June 8.
The express lanes will remain northbound-only through the weekend. On Monday morning, June 8, the express lanes will revert to their regular schedule of southbound in the mornings and northbound in the afternoons/evenings.
Crews will use the full lane closure to remove the Revive I-5: Ship Canal Bridge Preservation project work zone in the two left northbound lanes of the bridge. All lanes of mainline I-5 will be open June 8 through July 10 for world championship soccer matches in Seattle. Crews will then return for another weekend-long full closure of northbound I-5 from Friday, July 10, to Monday, July 13, to set up a new work zone in the northbound two right lanes of the Ship Canal Bridge. When the highway reopens July 13, the express lanes will again be northbound-only.
Plan ahead
