Construction ahead: repairs on I-5 at Southcenter begin mid-October
Sat, 10/08/2011
Watch for orange barrels and "Construction Ahead" signs in Tukwila.
On Oct. 18, the state Department of Transportation starts fixing the worst and bumpiest spots on I-5 near Southcenter.
At night, nearly every night for the next two months, crews will be closing multiple lanes to cut open, break apart, remove and replace the worst sections of old and broken concrete between S. 188th Street and the I-5/I-405 interchange at Southcenter.
The work is being done at night and on weekend nights to avoid peak commute times. The work will be noisy.
