This weekend, massive road closures are scheduled on several major highways around the region, including a huge renovation project taking place on Interstate 5.
There’s expected to be construction and corresponding delays amid what the Washington State Department of Transportation is dubbing a “Monster Weekend” for road closures, construction, and clean-up.

Some of that construction is already visible along the I-5 corridor in Fife. And, it’s only the beginning of a weeks-long stretch of road work — and corresponding delays — around the region.
This is actually the first of four consecutive weekends of these road closures along I-5 specifically. It features overnight closures on both Friday and Saturday, with lanes starting to shut down around 7 p.m. on both nights.
Those lanes will be closed by 11 p.m., in both directions. All lanes will re-open in both directions by 11 a.m. Saturday morning, and noon on Sunday. As a result, drivers can either expect lengthy delays or they may have to figure out an alternative route to their normal commute.
