I-5 near Convention Center to close some lanes overnight Friday, Saturday to change lights

How many workers from the Washington State Department of Transportation does it take to screw in a light bulb?

If you’re near I-5 in Seattle on Friday or Saturday night you might have a chance to find out.

“When you change a light bulb in your home – it’s pretty easy,” said Bart Treece with WSDOT. “But, when we need to change a light bulb inside a tunnel it does take a little bit of work.

Treece said crews will be shutting down lanes of I-5 both Friday and Saturday overnight while they change lights under the Washington State Convention Center.

Some ramps to and from I-5 in that area will also be closed between 10:00pm and 6:00am both nights.
