WEEKEND TRAFFIC ALERT: Northbound I-5 closing north of West Seattle Bridge

I-5 has seen a lot of closures in recent months, but the one starting tonight is the biggest in a while – and will be the last until after the FIFA World Cup Seattle matches. WSDOT is closing northbound I-5 from I-90 to the U-District all weekend so it can temporarily dismantle the Ship Canal Bridge-area work zone. The closure starts late tonight and will end by early Monday morning; here are the details.WSDOT says the express lanes will be northbound-only all weekend. After the work zone is removed, all lanes will be open until July 10; then WSDOT will close NB I-5 for another full weekend to create a new work zone.

SIDE NOTE: We’ve previously mentioned the citywide pause on right-of-way work for the World Cup, but it doesn’t involve all streets – here’s the city map of which ones will be work-free zones Monday (June 8) through July 7.

ROAD WORK ALERT: Second Lowman Beach-area project starts this week

In addition to the pump-station work already under way on the south side of Lowman Beach Park, the King County Wastewater Treatment Division has another project starting this week: Sewer-pipe repairs that will start in the park and continue about a quarter of a mile north on the southbound side of Beach Drive SW. KCWTD says the work has to be done this time of year “when flows are lower and conditions are safer.” They’ll be working weekdays, 7 am to 7 pm, and while they don’t expect any interruptions in wastewater service, there’ll be some sidewalk closures and some alternating-lane traffic at times. The work is expected to continue into fall; once it’s done, road and park restoration will be done.
