Closure of I-5 Northbound for night work

Publish Date

As early as Friday, January 22, Sound Transit’s contractor will close the I-5 Northbound lanes at Exit 177, SR 104, where traffic will be detoured to SR 99. The closure is necessary to perform work for the Lynnwood Link Light Rail extension section crossing I-5. Southbound I-5 will remain open in this area. This work will support the trackway that will cross over I-5.

This work will be done at night only per the hours listed below.
