A surprisingly breezy weekend around the Sound will make traveling quite simple--but watch out for those late-night road-closures.
Weekend Traffic Watch: Easy Ridin'
Plan Ahead: 520 Closure Edition
More than one bridge is looking at closures this weekend. How are you getting where you're going?
Prepare For a Hot Mess of Weekend Traffic Closures
Think twice about your weekend road-tripping plan of attack, especially if your map requires you to take either SR 520 or I-90 bridges. The 520 floating bridge will be undergoing its annual bridge inspection this weekend so tonight, WSDOT crews will close down 520 from Montlake Boulevard E. to 92nd Avenue NE at 11 p.m. It is set to re-open on Monday, June 22 at 5 a.m. Now here's the clincher: come Sunday morning, the I-90 express lanes will also be closed from 6:30-9:30 a.m. (Oh, noes!) for the cyclists riding in the LIVESTRONG Challenge. Good luck with any rerouting so you can see dear ol' Dad. And if that's not enough, expect traffic congestion from Mariners games, the All Nations Cup Parade, and the Fremont Summer Solstice Parade Festival and Street Fair.
