SEATTLE -- Traffic in the sky is going to affect the roads below in Seattle this week, when the I-90 floating bridge will be closed several times to accommodate Blue Angels practices and performances.

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are expected to arrive at Boeing Field on Monday to start preparing for the Boeing Seafair Air Show.

If you need to cross Lake Washington during flight times, you’ll need to find an alternate route -- such as I-405, State Route 520 or SR 522 -- or leave before after the closures.

The closures, which will begin Thursday, will stretch from the I-90/I-5 interchange in Seattle to Island Crest Way on Mercer Island.
