Drivers heading toward downtown Seattle this weekend should expect lengthy delays on southbound I-5.
The I-5 express lanes will be closed to southbound traffic on Saturday and Sunday so City of Seattle crews can clean up debris alongside the freeway. The lanes will open northbound by 1:30 p.m. daily.
You can avoid delays on southbound I-5 by using alternate routes, such as SR 99 or I-405 and SR 520 to get into Seattle.
Well Thank goodness the freeway debris is being cleared away. So very depressing to have seen the garbage along the freeway continually grow in the past few years.
