If you are leaving town this weekend, don't plan on coming back through Seattle on I-5.

WSDOT warns that you can expect significant delays on I-5 in Seattle during bridge and roadway work, Friday through Monday, April 20-23. Northbound I-5 will be reduced to two lanes, and several ramps closed.

Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will reduce northbound I-5 between the West Seattle Bridge and Olive Way to replace worn and aging bridge expansion joints and rehabilitate portions of concrete on the 50-year old roadway in the work to “Revive I-5”

Overnight, a single lane will remain open.
