If you, like @Tackyspoons, would like to scream at WSDOT: “how long do we have to put up with the horrible, headache-inducing noise from 8pm – 2am on I-5 / Greenlake??,” be sure to check out WSDOT’s handy Construction closures for I-5 pavement repair project page.

Upcoming repair work in the Green Lake area:

Pavement grinding work locations:

  • 50th Street Ramp CLOSED: Wednesday, September 16 – Crews will close the 50th Street on-ramp to southbound I-5 from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. for pavement grinding work.[ ... ]
  • Saturday, September 12 – Crews will close up to three left lanes of southbound I-5 from NE 125th Street to NE 80th street from 10 p.m. until 10 a.m. for traffic detection loop replacement work.

I-5 lane closures for non-noisy work:

  • Saturday, September 12 - Crews will close up to three left lanes of southbound I-5 from NE 125th Street to NE 50th street from 10 p.m. until 10 a.m. for road striping work.
  • Sunday, September 13 – morning of Tuesday, September 15 - Crews will close up to three left lanes of southbound I-5 from NE 125th Street to NE 50th street from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. for striping work.
