@wsdot Who is SHE?🥵 If you’ve been enjoying a smoother ride over the two left northbound lanes on the I-5 Ship Canal Bridge, that’s thanks to crews repairing and resurfacing that area in the first half of 2026. Now seems like a good time to tell you: We’ll be back at it once World Cup games in Seattle end. That means ANOTHER full closure of I-5 in downtown Seattle from July 10-13 to set up for the next phase of work. When the freeway reopens July 13, the two RIGHT northbound lanes (and the Harvard East on-ramp) will remain closed across the Ship Canal Bridge through the end of 2026 so they can undergo their own glow up. Still reading? Your reward is a recap of what we were up to the last few months on the bridge: - Approximately 140 structural concrete repairs - About 950 cubic yards of new concrete poured (roughly the volume of 950 washing machines, weighing about 4.75 million pounds... or approximately 27,941 Justin Timberlakes) - More than 6,500 linear feet of bridge deck resurfaced - Over 6,700 linear feet of protective barrier placed and removed - Nearly 25,000 linear feet of lane and shoulder striping And you thought your skincare routine was complicated. The work you see here wasn’t possible without the work you put in, too. Thank you to everyone who adjusted your commute, took transit, found another route or shifted your schedule during this phase of Revive I-5.
