REMINDER: I-5 offramp closure this weekend, and other closures on the horizon

Though we weren’t able to publish morning-traffic watch this morning, we did want to remind you one more time about this weekend’s planned I-5 offramp closure. From WSDOT‘s “Revive I-5” project page:

The northbound I-5 off-ramp to the West Seattle Bridge/Columbian Way/Spokane Street will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 to 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 1, for repaving work. This work is weather-dependent. Drivers should consider alternative routes, including SR 599 and West Marginal Way.

Also, the weekly SDOT Construction Lookahead (which covers both city and state routes) has advance word of two tentatively planned Highway 99 closures next month:

October 12 – 15: SR 99 Southbound will be closed from the south end of the Battery St. tunnel to S. Spokane St., Fri 9 PM – Mon 5 AM.

October 19 – 22: SR 99 will be fully closed from the West Seattle Bridge to the Battery St. tunnel, Fri 9 PM – Mon 5 AM.

Watch for official confirmation of those two when they get closer.

I find it BS that 99 is constantly being closed on weekends in one form or another. Isn’t this part of the grand 3 to 6 week closure planned for a January?

They are doing a lot of preparation work such as sign installation.

(Edited to add) Here’s an image I saved from the 99 cam near the stadiums in the last hour or so of last weekend’s closure, on Sunday morning:

Sorry, comment time is over.
