Nighttime drivers planning to use State Route 520 need to take alternate routes across and around Lake Washington next week as crews working for WSDOT test and adjust tolling equipment on the SR 520 bridge.

Crews will make the following closures:

Sunday, Feb. 27 crews will close eastbound SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard in Seattle and 92nd Ave. NE in Clyde Hill from 12:30-5:30 a.m.

Monday, Feb. 28 and Wednesday, March 2 crews will close westbound SR 520 between 92nd Ave. NE in Clyde Hill and Montlake Boulevard in Seattle from 11:59 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. each night.

Tuesday, March 1 crews will close eastbound SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard in Seattle and 92nd Ave. NE in Clyde Hill from 11:59 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.

During these closures, crews will test and adjust equipment in preparation for tolling of the SR 520 bridge later this spring.
