Hitting the road this weekend? You will not be alone. Don’t worry, we have all the tools for you to avoid (or at least, not be surprised by!) heavy travel times over this coming Memorial Day Weekend. Travel is expected to increase on typical holiday travel routes, including Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass, U.S. 2 over Stevens Pass, Interstate 5 through Thurston and Pierce counties and I-5 between Bellingham and the U.S./Canada border.
To help ease traffic congestion, WSDOT and its contractors will suspend most state highway construction work at noon Friday, May 23, until Tuesday, May 27. There is also good news for Lake Washington boaters: the State Route 520 Floating Bridge and Landings Project contractor will open the east navigation channel underneath the existing SR 520 Bridge for holiday boat traffic from 9am Friday, May 23, to 7am Tuesday, May 27.
