SEATTLE - The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is warning drivers to expect a full highway closure on a section of SR-520 in Seattle this weekend.
When will SR-520 close this weekend in Seattle?
According to WSDOT, the eastbound lanes of SR-520 will be closed for construction between I-5 and Montlake Boulevard from 11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5 to 5 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 8.
What they're saying:
"Crews will use this closure to continue removing existing barrier along the eastbound mainline and off-ramp to Montlake Blvd. and replace it with temporary barrier," WSDOT announced in a press release. "This work is part of the SR 520 Portage Bay Bridge and Roanoke Lid Project."
Crews say all traffic from I-5 wanting to use eastbound SR-520 will need to use alternate routes.
WSDOT says that eastbound SR-520 will remain open across Lake Washington. Additionally, the Montlake Boulevard on-ramp to eastbound SR-520 will be open.
Westbound SR-520 and SR-520 Trail will not be impacted by the closure.
