@wsdot Well, Brian has spoken. And while that looked like a 50/50 chance that we’d all be enjoying the beach together, the reality is a lot of planning goes into a decision to close I-405 in Bothell on back to back weekends. The next two weekends are the final push to remove the old SR 522 flyover ramp over I-405 in Bothell. Because we are trying to close things only when they need to close and reopen them as we are able, this isn’t one of those traditional closures where everything closes and reopens at the same time. SO PAY ATTENTION: WEEKEND OF MARCH 6-9 -All lanes of northbound I-405 at the SR 522 Interchange and all lanes of southbound I-405 from SR 527 to SR 522 will close from 6. p.m. Saturday, March 7, to 4 a.m. Monday, March 9, to remove sections of the SR 522 ramp over I-405. WEEKEND OF MARCH 13-16 -All lanes of northbound I-405 at the SR 522 Interchange and all lanes of southbound I-405 from SR 527 to SR 522 will close at 9 p.m. Friday, March 13. -Southbound I-405 will reopen as early as 9 a.m. on Sunday morning, March 15. -Northbound I-405 will remain closed until 4 a.m. Monday morning, March 16. These closures will also overlap with ongoing northbound I-5 lane reductions across the Ship Canal Bridge and lane closures on northbound SR 99 near the First Avenue South Bridge, which means congestion will likely spread well beyond the immediate work zone. There isn’t a simple alternate route that can carry the same volume as a freeway. Plan ahead, come early, stay late, expect delays, take transit, use alternate routes. You’ll get there, it will just take longer than it otherwise would.
