Driving through Seattle will be difficult this weekend, as northbound I-5 will be shut down from I-90 to N.E. 45th Street.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), ramps start closing by 9 p.m. Friday, with the mainline shutting down at 11:59 p.m.
Everything is expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.
“Crews will use the full lane closure to remove the Revive I-5: Ship Canal Bridge Preservation project work zone in the two left northbound lanes of the bridge,” WSDOT stated.

All lanes of I-5 are expected to remain open through July 10, after this weekend, for the upcoming World Cup matches hosted in Seattle. The weekend of July 10-13 will be the next planned closure of I-5, as crews plan to set up a new work zone in the northbound two right lanes of the Ship Canal Bridge.
“[This] project will cause congestion and delays,” WSDOT stated. “To help keep everyone moving, travelers are encouraged to stay informed and find an alternate route, carpool, leave early or stay late, allow for more travel time, or try a different travel mode like transit or bike.”
