Two of Seattle’s freeways will not be options for getting around this weekend. Construction will be impacting both State Route 520 and southbound Interstate 5.
This is going to have a huge impact on our travel into and through Seattle. It will also ripple onto all of our other freeways.Steve Peer said the 520 closure is for work on the Montlake Lid Project. “I think they are going to place 28 girders over the weekend so we need the freeway closed so they can hoist those big girders into place,” he said.
Another part of this project is the long-term closure of the westbound 520 off-ramps to Roanoke. It will close at 9:30 p.m. Friday night until after Labor Day. Contractors are moving the ramp to the north, closer to the fire station above. They need the room to build the new HOV flyover ramp connecting 520 to the I-5 express lanes. More on that in an upcoming chokepoint. The ramp from westbound 520 to northbound I-5 will remain open.
The northbound express lanes will be open during this construction, and actually, they will open up a lot earlier than normal. Around 8 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
