US 2 trestle shutdown postponed for this weekend

UPDATE:

Due to forecasted inclement weather, the planned lane closes on the US 2 trestle have been postponed and rescheduled for the weekend of June 23.

EVERETT, Wash. -- Interstate 5 isn't the only local highway undergoing major construction that will disrupt traffic this weekend.

According to WSDOT, contractor crews will close all lanes of westbound US 2 between the State Route 204 interchange and 51st Avenue Southeast from 7:00 p.m. Friday, June 1 to 4:00 a.m. Monday, June 4.

Ramps to westbound US 2 from SR 204 and 20th Street Southeast will also be closed.

Transportation officials are warning travelers to avoid the area if possible.

This weekend closure was originally scheduled for May 18-19 but was canceled due to rain.

It's the first of six weekend closures required to complete the "critical preservation and paving project" on US 2.
