Seattle City Light crews will be relocating an overhead transmission line on Interstate 5 at NE 195th St in Shoreline as part of Sound Transit's Lynnwood Link Extension project.
The reliability work will result in nightly traffic impacts on August 3-4, 2021.
To complete this work safely, Washington State Patrol troopers and construction crews must intermittently conduct rolling slowdowns of traffic in both directions of I-5 to ensure safe work operations and passage for motorists.
Traffic will be intercepted and escorted at slow speeds up to 15 minutes between Lynnwood and Seattle as crews pull overhead feeder cables across the freeway. Traffic will return to normal speeds once vehicles pass the work area.
