Rehabbing the freeway through Shoreline

Drivers who use I-5 between the King/ Snohomish County line and Northgate have probably noticed plenty of new concrete slabs on the interstate. Contractor crews are making great progress replacing more than 300 of them.

Right now, contractor crews are working southbound. In about a month, they’ll start replacing broken panels in the northbound lanes. Simultaneously, they’ll begin grinding the southbound lanes to smooth the entire surface of the interstate.

Be aware that the grinding work can be noisy and you’re likely to hear it at night, especially if you keep your windows open.

Driver heads up: As part of the project, the Northeast 175th Street on-ramp to southbound I-5 will be closed from 9pm Saturday, Oct. 4, to 6am Sunday, Oct. 5.

More information about the project, lane and ramp closures and the work status is available on the project website.
