Weekend traffic closures in WA: Here's what to know

Traffic closures this weekend in WA

Traffic officials are warning drivers about closures happening this weekend.

BOTHELL, Wash. - If you’re still finalizing those weekend plans, there are two full directional closures on the Interstate 405 corridor, and it all starts Friday night.

Those closures are happening on I-405 in Bothell as well as in Renton.

The Washington State Department of Transportation is urging everyone to plan because this closure will make getting around this weekend a lot tougher, especially with UW Huskies and Seahawks playing this weekend.

In Bothell, it’s on Northbound I-405 from State Route 522 to State Route 527. It’s all to pave that area as part of the I-405/Brickyard to SR 527 Improvement Project. This closure starts at 11 p.m. on Friday and then crews will reopen the area on Monday at 5 a.m.

The following northbound I-405 on- and off-ramps will be closed:

Eastbound/westbound SR 522 on-ramps to northbound I-405
Northeast 195th Street/Beardslee Boulevard on- and off-ramps
SR 527 off-ramp (Exit 26)

In Renton, crews will shut down Southbound I-405 from Sunset Boulevard Northeast at Exit 5 to SR 167, starting at 11:59 p.m. on Friday. This construction is all part of the I-405/SR 167 program, which WSDOT said is aiming to improve a more than 50-mile transportation system. Crews will reopen the area at 4 a.m. on Monday.

The following on and off-ramps will be closed on southbound I-405:
