WSDOT's Revive I-5 project

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is rehabilitating Interstate 5 in Seattle as part of Revive I-5. 
 
Construction is taking place this summer. For the full details, visit WSDOT’s project web page

Work this summer 

  • July 18-21: Weekend closure of a section of northbound I-5 in Seattle to set up the work zone. (complete)
  • July 21-August 15: Two lanes of northbound I-5 across the Ship Canal Bridge are closed for approximately four weeks through August 15.
  • August 15-18: A second weekend closure on northbound I-5 to remove the work zone.

The I-5 Express Lanes will remain open in the northbound direction during these lane reductions and weekend closures. 

Future construction

  • Additional work will take place in 2026 and 2027, with more long-term lane closures on I-5.
  • However, I-5 is planned to be fully open during the 2026 FIFA World Cup™

Getting around

While travel will be challenging during construction, here are a few tips to keep in mind: 

  • Ride transit – it’s the best, most reliable way to get around. Youth 18 and under ride free!
  • Stay informed, leave extra travel time, and check conditions before you head out.
  • Consider traveling outside of peak travel times if you can.
  • Learn about all your travel options in the Seattle area by visiting FlipYourTrip.org

Seattle is a great place to live, work, and play. We encourage you to continue to enjoy the city’s many cultural attractions, parks, local shops, sports games, concerts, shopping, and more.
