Rolling slowdowns on I-5 in Shoreline overnight Thursday

Late night drivers on Interstate 5 through Shoreline should prepare for delays overnight Thursday, September 7, to the morning of Friday, September 8, 2017.

Washington State Patrol officers will perform intermittent rolling slowdowns in both directions of I-5 from 11:59pm to 4am.

During these slowdowns, crews will pull fiber-optic cables over I-5 near NE 125th Street in Seattle.

• Northbound traffic will gradually slow starting at NE 50th Street in the University District. 
• Southbound traffic will slow down at State Route 104/Northeast 205th Street/Ballinger Way in Shoreline. 

Patrol cars will lead the slowed traffic through the work area until the roadway is clear, then allow traffic to accelerate back to highway speeds.

This is in addition to the on and off ramp work at NE 205th / Ballinger Way on September 5-6, Tuesday-Wednesday. (see previous article)
