BURIEN – Drivers in Burien and SeaTac who use Des Moines Memorial Drive to access eastbound State Route 518 should plan ahead for a full closure of the on-ramp this weekend, Aug. 19-22.

Port of Seattle contractor crews will close the ramp from 8 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday to remove a temporary access road that was used for a Sea-Tac Airport runway construction project. A signed detour will be in place.

Puget Sound area drivers can get real-time traffic information on their phone with the WSDOT traffic app, by tracking the WSDOT traffic Twitter feed, and get advanced information from the Seattle Area Construction page.
