Heads up: MONSTER WEEKEND ahead!
This is our biggest weekend of construction closures for the region this year. We'll break it down closure by closure in this thread🧵
#MonsterWeekend
(1/2) Heads up! This Wednesday, Sept. 25 is the annual pre-winter maintenance day for US 2 through Tumwater Canyon. The road will be closed between Coles Corner and Leavenworth from 8AM-3PM to allow crews to expedite work in multiple locations ahead of winter weather.
Use I-5 at the Fife curve? We’re building a new bridge over I-5 for a future SR 167 interchange and demolishing the old 70th Ave. bridge. Night construction will close I-5 over a series of Friday/Saturday nights. Learn -->
Good morning traffic fam! Happy fall!🍁
Make sure to double check your route before you leave so you have time to stop and get a pumpkin spice latte☕️

Yep, if our rest areas were people, they'd be planning for retirement by now.
Many of our rest areas are old & experience frequent failures due to lack of resources.

Moo-re info here:
A scary situation that has a happy ending. A 15-year-old (with a driver's permit) and her mom got rear-ended by a semi-truck (everyone was ok). One of our Incident Response Team members helped them through it. This blog is about their reunion!
Nearly caught a faceful of spider when I walked into a web while walking the dog this morning. Here's hoping your morning travels involve a bit less frantic flailing.
Cleared: The NB and SB I-405 ramps from WB I-90 have reopened after an earlier collision. Looks like crews are still on scene on the shoulder, so continue to slow down when driving by.
A few reminders!
- New four-way stop on Montlake Lid
- New northbound to eastbound SR 520 HOV 3+ access on 24th Ave
- New HOV lanes on NB/SB Montlake Blvd.
- HOV3+ and Transit only on new ramps. (We are working with our partners on enforcement)
UPDATE 2: Both NB and SB I-405 on-ramps from westbound I-90 remain closed in
@bellevuewa
due to the overnight collision involving a semi.
Tows are on scene and working to remove the vehicle.
There is no ETA to reopen the ramps. Please continue to use alternate routes.
NOW OPEN: SR 20 construction in Marblemount (MP 105) is now open!
Contractor crews worked hard during the 24/7 to build the fish passage structure at Olson Creek🐟
Happy Friday the 13th! There's nothing spookier than not knowing about a closure 👻
Montlake Blvd., Lake Washington Blvd., and E. Roanoke St. close, and all associated ramps close TONIGHT at 10 p.m.!
When this area re-opens on Monday, 9/16 at 5 a.m., new movements will open.
🚨 SR 202 CLOSED NEXT WEEK 🚨
