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.
