Revive I-5 traffic closures return to Seattle Friday

The next phase of I-5 rehabilitation in Seattle means more summer closures and delays for drivers.

Beginning Friday, April 5, crews contracting with the Washington State Department of Transportation will launch "Revive I-5" for the southbound lanes of the freeway. Drivers who use southbound I-5 through downtown Seattle late at night and during early morning hours should plan on taking additional routes and expect delays.

Though the summer, crews will work on about 4 miles of southbound I-5 between Spring Street in downtown Seattle and South Lucile Street near Boeing Field. Crews will repair and replace concrete panels, grind the surface of the pavement, and repave several on- and off-ramps.

Closures will occur as early as 8 p.m. on weeknights and 9 p.m. on weekends.

At times, all lanes of southbound I-5 will be closed through downtown, shifting traffic into collector-distributor lanes.

The majority of the work is weather-dependent.

When I think of how much money goes into all the things related to the automobile, it seems quite stunning.
