Posted Date: 07/01/09 - 4:01 p.m.

Construction - I-90 Westbound Lane Closure -- July 5 - July 20

Posted Date: 07/01/09 - 1:22 p.m.

Starting on Sunday, July 5 and lasting until Monday, July 20, the westbound lanes of I-90 will be closed to repair expansion joints and all westbound I-90 traffic will be diverted to the Express Lanes. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is warning all motorists that the traffic delays could last an hour or more and stretch from Issaquah to Seattle.

Delays - Bus travel times are expected to be delayed because all vehicles will be using the HOV express lanes across the lake into Seattle. This restriction does not end until you reach the west side of the Mount Baker Tunnel.

WSDOT anticipates delays will be most disruptive westbound from 6-11 a.m. and 3-7 p.m., and when there are major events in Seattle. Also, eastbound traffic in the afternoon is expected to be slower than normal, because there will be no HOV lanes in that direction across the lake until the project is completed. There could be related slowdowns on SR-520, I-405 and I-5.

Sound Transit will make every effort to maintain departure schedules on east-west routes across I-90; however, bus travel times are expected to take longer than normal due to anticipated traffic delays. Most buses serving the Eastside make multiple trips across the lake in a single day, and congestion on one leg of the trip will create ongoing delays for individual buses.

Bus riders are encouraged to travel early in the commute if possible. Use existing schedules to plan your trip and give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

Visit WSDOT's construction page for more information.
