Some pumpkins say BOO. Ours says BUSY. Here’s a spooky little heads-up for Oct. 16–19.

Forget ghosts, goblins and things that go bump in the night. We’ve got four letters that’ll send a shiver down any driver’s spine: B-U-S-Y.That’s right, another weekend of closures is creeping up on us.

Inspired by true (upcoming) events. Rated B for BUSY. Coming to a freeway near you Oct. 16–18:

NB I-405 CLOSED in Bellevue

– Closed between SE 8^th St to NE 4^th St. from 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 to 4 a.m. Monday, Oct. 19. The following ramps will also close at this time: SE 8^th St. on-ramp to NB I-405 and NB I-405 off-ramp to NE 4^th St/NE 8^th St. (Exit 13 A/B). Crews will pave, install concrete panels and set an overhead sign structure.

NB I-5 CONTINUED LANE CLOSURES across Ship Canal Bridge in Seattle

– Reduced to two lanes across the Ship Canal Bridge until the end of 2026. The express lanes will remain open NB-only 24/7.

You know that friend who looks over at you right before the jump scare in a horror movie? Yeah, that’s us. Except instead of ruining the movie, we’re giving you a heads-up about weekend closures. Check the travel maps, know your route before you go and give yourself extra time to get to that pumpkin patch.
