Drivers will face delays once again this weekend on northbound Interstate 5 between State Route 516 in Kent and the Southcenter area.<\/p>\n
After taking last weekend off, paving crews return to work and will shut down two lanes starting at 8 p.m. Friday, July 7, until 5 a.m. Monday, July 10.<\/p>\n
This will be the fourth of six full-weekend lane closures. Also, the ramps to both directions of SR 516, as well as the ramps to and from Military Road\/South 200th Street and South 188th Street\/Orillia Road will also be closed.<\/p>\n
Crews have already made great progress on the project. So far, they’ve paved nearly 43,000 tons of asphalt and replaced 88 broken concrete panels.<\/p>\n
Two more weekend closures are planned for July 14-17 and Aug. 11-14, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
During three weekends in June, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation made substantial progress on northbound I-5 between State Route 516 in Kent and South 170th Street in Tukwila:<\/p>\n
• Breaking concrete in all lanes to prepare for repaving along the four-mile section.<\/p>\n
• Paving nearly 3,000 dump truck loads of asphalt – approximately 43,000 tons of pavement.<\/p>\n
• Replacing 88 broken concrete panels near SR 516.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
