State Route 520 and Interstate 90 will each be closed in one direction over the next two weekends during construction.

All lanes and ramps of eastbound SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard and 92nd Avenue Northeast will be closed from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 6.

During this weekend, westbound I-90 will be reduced to one lane near Bellevue Way Southeast, with traffic rerouted to the express lanes from 11 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, to 5 a.m. Monday, Dec. 7, to continue construction of transit and HOV lanes.

All lanes and ramps of westbound SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard and 92nd Avenue Northeast will be closed from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 13. Construction schedules are subject to change and closure hours may be adjusted depending on work completed on Sunday, Dec. 6. We will send an update next week with confirmed closure hours.

Eastbound I-90 will be reduced to one lane near Rainier Avenue South, with traffic rerouted to the express lanes from 11 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11, to 5 a.m. Monday, Dec. 14, to continue construction of transit and HOV lanes.

Instead of closing all SR 520 lanes for one weekend, crews will close one direction at a time for the next two weekends. These closures mirror I-90 weekend closures so that drivers will be able to cross Lake Washington on one bridge or the other, depending on the direction.

Crews will be working on the West Approach Bridge North Project continue to make modifications to the 24th Avenue East overpass in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood.
