For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Work on two major roadways is expected to have a ripple effect on traffic across the region Friday, until Monday morning.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n South King County drivers should plan ahead for the first of five weekend lane reductions on southbound Interstate 5<\/a> in SeaTac as crews begin repaving a 2.7-mile section<\/a> between South 188th Street and South 219th Street in Des Moines. This work is weather dependent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In Seattle, drivers heading across Lake Washington will see eastbound Interstate 90 reduced to one lane and detoured to the express lanes as part of ongoing work to add around-the-clock HOV lanes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation and Sound Transit will complete work suspended during a windstorm in March, when crews reopened I-90 early after the State Route 520 bridge was closed due to storm damage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n “We know both of these projects will have a major effect on Seattle area highways,” said WSDOT Traffic Engineer Mike Swires. “Even if your plans don’t include traveling eastbound I-90 or southbound I-5 earlier or later in the day, carpooling or taking transit can help keep traffic moving regardless of your destination.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Southbound I-5 lane reduction details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 8 p.m. Friday, July 8 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 11<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Crews will begin closing lanes at 8 p.m. Friday, with up to three lanes closed by 10 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Crews may close an additional lane\u2014leaving one lane open\u2014from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 The southbound Interstate 405 on-ramp to southbound I-5 will be closed. Drivers should use I-405 and state routes 99, 167 and 509 as detours.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 The South 188th Street on-ramp and the South 200th Street on- and off-ramps will be closed. Drivers should use SR 99 and SR 516 as a detour.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n I-90 traffic details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 11 p.m. Friday, July 8, until 5 a.m. Monday, July 11<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Eastbound I-90 traffic between Rainier Avenue South and Bellevue Way Southeast will be routed to the express lanes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 The eastbound I-90 exit to Rainier Avenue South will remain open.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 The Rainier Avenue South on-ramps to eastbound I-90 will be closed.
