) is warning travelers to plan ahead this weekend, because some major construction work in the heart of Seattle is set to begin Friday night.means WSDOT is able to resume its most ambitious projects. Officials say this weekend's construction will mark a major milestone for the I-5 connection project, which will require intermittent closures. These closures are necessary, so crews can safely place girders over the freeway for a new flyover ramp connecting SR-520 to the express lanes.
According to WSDOT, during the closure, drivers traveling on northbound I-5 after Mercer St. will detour at eastbound SR-520 and take the Montlake Blvd. exit. From there, drivers will be guided by traffic officials to turn around on Montlake Blvd. and enter westbound SR-520 before rejoining northbound I-5 just past the work zone.
WSDOT says that the process of installing the girders involves the use of two cranes, which will lift the girders into position - allowing crews to assemble them in midair.
