Northbound I-5 Reduced To Two Lanes For Emergency Repair In Tukwila This Weekend

TUKWILA – People traveling on northbound Interstate 5 in Tukwila should plan ahead for lane and ramp closures this weekend between the Southcenter area and the Duwamish River bridge.

During the work, northbound travelers will use the two left lanes. The on-ramp from State Route 518 to northbound I-5 will remain open, but the following ramps to northbound I-5 will close:

  • • Southbound I-405 HOV only on-ramp
  • • Southcenter Boulevard on-ramp
  • • Interurban Avenue on-ramp
  • • The northbound I-5 HOV bypass lane

People traveling in the area should check the WSDOT traffic app and WSDOT Traffic Twitter feed before starting a trip.
