WSDOT has implemented multiple road closures and lane reductions effective this week for construction and maintenance.

I-405 will have nightly closures of two express toll lanes northbound between mileposts 17.45 and 18.12 from August 10-14, and southbound lane closures between mileposts 5 and 3.2 on August 13-14. SR 161 will be reduced to one lane between milepost 2.5 and Center Street East in Eatonville on August 15. US 2 will have alternating traffic with flaggers nightly from August 10-27 between mileposts 41 and 42.

The closures are for road repairs, bridge work, and utility projects. Travelers should expect delays and plan accordingly. The affected routes are key corridors for commuters and regional traffic.
