The drive home from the Seahawks-Cowboys game at CenturyLink Field Thursday night could be challenging for fans.

If you’re headed to Mill Creek, Canyon Park, or Alderwood, expect extra congestion after the game.

One left lane of northbound I-405 between Canyon Park and I-5 will be closed 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. for an ongoing construction project.

Washington State Department of Transportation contractor crews are also working on paving projects and the express toll lane system from downtown Bellevue to Lynnwood.

To get around the backups, Seahawks fans should stick to northbound I-5.
