Northbound Interstate 5 travelers should plan extra time for overnight and early morning trips between Lacey and DuPont in Thurston and Pierce counties, a news release from the Washington state Department of Transportation (WSDOT) advised.
Starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, contractor crews working for the WSDOT will reduce northbound lanes of I-5. Motorists will see two lanes closed overnight.
Work will pause for the holiday weekend and resume after Labor Day. People are encouraged to check the project webpage for the latest information at https://tinyurl.com/4p62f8vy.
Lane closure times are as follows:
• 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday
• 5:30 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday
• 6:30 p.m. Saturday to 9:30 a.m. Sunday
When work is completed on northbound I-5, crews will switch to the southbound direction.
Speed cameras rotate through work zones, including this project. Numerous signs will warn drivers if a camera is at a location. Work zones can be active day or night, and drivers should assume workers are in the area if they see a warning that the camera is in that location.
