Major ‘Revive I-5’ repairs starting for Ship Canal Bridge this weekend [ #I5 ]

East Link Station Improvements: bus stop improvements planned for future Judkins Park Station [ #east ]

Major ‘Revive I-5’ repairs starting for Ship Canal Bridge this weekend

Get ready for the next stage of construction on Seattle’s busiest corridor. As early as January 9, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will resume its Revive I-5 preservation work on the northbound Ship Canal Bridge.

As part of the project, two northbound lanes across the Ship Canal Bridge will close while crews repair and resurface the bridge deck. To minimize impacts during major events, work zones will be removed in June for World Cup soccer matches in Seattle, then reinstalled when games conclude in July.

To help support ridership demand during Revive I-5, Metro is planning to add up to 17 buses on key routes on weekdays and 12 buses on weekends to help riders avoid travel delays due to highway construction. These buses will be able to be deployed flexibly by Metro staff to locations and routes where there is crowding or delays.

Learn more [ https://wsdot.wa.gov/about/news/2026/wsdot-sdot-sound-transit-king-county-metro-prep-major-seattle-revive-i-5-construction-starting-jan-9 ] about this work from WSDOT.

*The WSDOT schedule of northbound I-5 includes:*


* As early as *January 9 to 12*: weekend-long full northbound I-5 closure (work zone set up).
* As early as *January 12 to June 5*: five-month closure of the two left northbound I-5 lanes across the Ship Canal Bridge, causing northbound traffic delays. The reversible express lanes will remain northbound for the duration, causing southbound traffic delays.
* *June 5 to 8*: weekend-long full northbound I-5 closure (work zone removal).
* *June 8 to July 10*: all lanes of I-5 reopened for FIFA World Cup games.
* *July 10 to 13*: weekend-long full northbound I-5 closure (work zone set up).
* *July 13 to end of 2026*: months-long two right northbound I-5 lane reduction across the Ship Canal Bridge.
* *End of 2026*: weekend-long full northbound I-5 closure (work zone removal).

Weekend-long full closures for work zone set up or removal are weather dependent. Crews need dry weather to re-stripe lanes. That means if the weather is too rainy, crews may reschedule work for the following weekend.

Express lanes will run northbound only, 24 hours a day, whenever there are lane closures or reductions for Revive I-5 construction.
