Interstate 5.
Construction crews will close most northbound lanes into the city. That,
together with holiday travel, means delays on northbound I-5 from
Southcenter to Seattle are estimated to be up to 45 minutes this weekend.
Workers will be replacing noisy old expansion joints that create a peculiar
thumping noise under your tires as you head into Seattle.
Northbound I-5 will be narrowed from five lanes to two lanes all the way
from Albro Place to nearly Interstate 90. The work starts at 8 p.m. Friday.
"These joints are really old. They're 50 years old, they've taken a beating
from traffic for years, and we really need to get this replaced - it's kind
of a safety issue," says Bart Treece of the state Department of
Transportation. "We don't want these things popping up in the middle of
traffic."
A company that tracks cars in real time on smartphones is estimating the
worst time for backups will be Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with delays
of up to 45 minutes.
Your best bet is to find another route, if possible.
And be forewarned - the same closure will happen again next weekend. | w********2
