BOTHELL — Add in extra time for your weekend travel plans if it involves southbound I-405 through Bothell and the on-going construction zone. All lanes of southbound I-405 from SR 527 in Canyon Park to SR 522 will close Friday Oct. 9 at 10 p.m. and will not re-open until 4 a.m. Monday October 12, according to the Washington State Dept. of Transportation.
People traveling southbound throughout the region should expect heavier traffic and longer travel times on both directions of I-5 traversing to southbound I-405 in Lynnwood and then through Bothell, as drivers will be forced to exit at the SR 527 off-ramp and then be detoured on surface streets back to I-405 south of SR 522. Extra congestion may also impact southbound 525 drivers approaching the entrance to southbound I-405.
The following ramps will also close starting at 10 p.m. Friday: SR 527 on-ramp to southbound I-405, Northeast 195th on-/off-ramps to I-405, and the southbound I-405 off-ramp to SR 522. Crews will work on drainage, pavement reconstruction and bridge repair in the northern portion of the Brickyard construction zone…
