During the 19 days of construction, freeway ramps will also close, including the Spokane Street and Columbian Way on-ramps to northbound I-5, and the northbound I-5 exit to Fourth Avenue South.
The Spokane Street on-ramp to northbound I-5 will be closed for two weekends.
The Columbian Way on-ramp to northbound I-5 will be closed throughout construction from Aug. 10 through 29.
The northbound I-5 exit to Fourth Avenue South will be closed for three workdays.
For one weekend drivers on northbound I-5 will be unable to access the northbound on-ramp to I-90 and exits to Dearborn, James and Madison streets. James and Madison streets exits will remain accessible from westbound I-90 or eastbound SR 519.
Drivers should also expect additional nighttime closures of these ramps.
WHAT CAN DRIVERS DO?
Drivers can help minimize backups and make their own commutes easier during the project by:
Adjusting work schedules to come in earlier or later than normal (go early or stay late; there's lots to do in the South End's neighborhoods); working from home or an alternate worksite; riding the bus; riding the train; riding the water taxi; riding a bike; using carpools or vanpools; using alternate routes; taking a vacation between Aug. 10 and 29.[[In-content Ad]]
