Traffic alert: Emergency lane closures on southbound I-5 tonight

WSDOT is doing “emergency expansion joint repairs” on southbound I-5 at the West Seattle Bridge right now. According to a late-in-the-day alert, the center lane should already be closed, and then starting at 7 pm, crews will close three southbound lanes for about two hours, with the warning: “Drivers heading south on I-5 should expect significant delays or take alternate routes such as SR 99 or Airport Way.” (Thanks to Jann for the tip.)

    Why is it an emergency? Makes me worried that they used that word.

    Same thought as Kennedy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
