Work this year

• WSDOT completed the first round of construction closures this past summer.
• Starting this fall, WSDOT will conduct a series of weekend-long lane reductions on southbound I-5 to improve drainage systems on the Ship Canal Bridge.
• Two lanes of southbound I-5, from around NE 50th St to the SR 520 interchange, will be closed on the following dates (Friday night through Monday morning):
  • October 10-13
  • October 17-20
  • October 31-November 3
  • November 21-24
  • December 5-8
  • January 9-12, 2026 

Future construction

• Additional work will take place in 2026 and 2027, with long-term lane closures on I-5.
• However, I-5 is planned to be fully open during the 2026 FIFA World Cup™. 

Getting around

While travel will be challenging during construction, here are a few tips to keep in mind: 

• Ride transit – it’s the best, most reliable way to get around. Youth 18 and under ride free!
• Stay informed, leave extra travel time, and check conditions before you head out.
• Consider traveling outside of peak travel times if you can.
• Learn about all your travel options in the Seattle area by visiting FlipYourTrip.org. 

Seattle is a great place to live, work, and play. We encourage you to continue to enjoy the city’s many cultural attractions, parks, local shops, sports games, concerts, shopping, and more.
