@washingtonstatedot: *deep, shaky breath* The time has come to Revive I-5. Northbound I-5 in Seattle from I-90 to NE 45th Street will be fully closed starting at 11:59 p.m on Friday, July 18, through 5 a.m. Monday, July 21. Express lanes will run northbound all weekend and downtown express lane ramps will stay open to everyone. If you’re headed downtown, use Edgar Martinez Drive, Dearborn, James or Madison streets — or eastbound I-90 to Rainier. When northbound I-5 reopens on Monday, July 21, lane reductions will stick around until Aug. 15. Then we’ll have another full closure to pick everything back up. The Express Lanes will continue to run northbound only for the next four weeks. #wsdot #washington #shipcanalbridge #revivei5 #i5 #seattle

honestly it feels as if y'all are ripping the band-aid off. I hope that's the case and this isn't the new normal for 5 years?

Washington is something else. They are shutting down our only boat dock this busiest season.

That happened in 2006 or 2007, and it was ridiculously anticlimactic and the traffic was crazy easy, until I5 reopened and everyone started driving again.

I’ve lived in 4 states in my 38 years and Washington is the only one I’ve lived in that completely shuts down a direction of its main artery during the day in its busiest tourist season. Why can’t the work be done overnight like everywhere else?
