RAMP 8/6/14 Presentation: I-5: M Street to Portland Avenue; Construction coming soon

At last week's RAMP meeting, Claudia Bingham Baker, Communications Manager WSDOT's Olympic Region, gave an overview of the construction getting underway within the next month or two.  This construction will significantly affect traffic flows over I-5 as two bridge replacements were undertaken.

The presentation was so popular, WSDOT provided it to us for further distribution.

Lane Closures on I-5 around DuPont

From WSDOT:

"Starting next week, motorists will encounter single and multiple lane closures during night hours in both directions of Interstate 5 near DuPont as crews begin a project to replace over 4.5 miles of concrete median barrier.  

Crews will close a single lane of northbound and southbound I-5 between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 4-5, to install construction signs. Barrier work, and multiple night lane closures, will begin the following week. From 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday, Sept. 10 through Friday, Sept. 14, crews will close multiple lanes of southbound and northbound I-5 starting near Berkeley Ave. 

The closures will be repeated in both directions of I-5 in various locations within the project limits through mid-October."
