WSDOT postpones long-term lane closures on Aurora in Seattle

The Washington State Department of Transportation is postponing plans for long-term lane closures on Aurora originally scheduled to begin on Wednesday, March 11.

These closures were needed to install several large sign foundations for the SR 99 North Access project. While this work must occur, it will be rescheduled to a later date in an effort to minimize impacts to the traveling public. The public will be alerted in advance of any future lane closures.

Contractor crews still plan to close northbound SR 99 Monday night to straighten the curve in the highway near Mercer Street. All lanes will open at 6am in time for the morning commute.
