Eastsiders: WB SR 520 between Montlake and I-5 will CLOSE this weekend

Westbound SR 520 is closing this weekend! But! You can still cross Lake Washington. It’s the stretch between Montlake Boulevard and I-5 that’s closing.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Starting at 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, all westbound lanes of SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard and I-5 in Seattle will close until 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16.

During the closure:

• Westbound SR 520 traffic crossing Lake Washington must exit at either Montlake Boulevard or Lake Washington Boulevard. Drivers heading to I-5 from westbound SR 520 will need to use alternate routes.
• Eastbound SR 520 and the SR 520 Trail will remain OPEN.

Crews will use this closure to repair expansion joints on westbound SR 520 and will shift the westbound off-ramp to northbound I-5 north as part of the SR 520 Portage Bay and Roanoke Lid Project.

Note: This closure is weather-dependent and subject to change.

GOT PLANS IN SEATTLE THIS WEEKEND?

Between Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena, the Seattle International Auto Show and other events at Seattle Center, there’s plenty happening around town. If you’re traveling from the Eastside, keep in mind that westbound SR 520 won’t connect you directly to I-5 this weekend.
