For the second weekend in a month, motorists driving on Interstate 90 between Bellevue and Seattle will have reduced lanes to deal with this weekend.

For the second weekend in a month, motorists driving on Interstate 90 between Bellevue and Seattle will have reduced lanes to deal with this weekend.

Eastbound I-90 from Mercer Island to Seattle will be reduced to one lane just before the Mount Baker Tunnel from 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15.

The lanes will reopen after the home Seattle Seahawks game.

Crews will be adding a high-occupancy vehicle lane as they have on other portions of the bridges connecting Seattle to Mercer Island and Bellevue. A center lane for the Sound Transit East Link light rail extension is part of the project as well.

The ultimate plan is to finish construction on the interstate in 2017.

I-90 will have reduced lanes in two other weekends this year, the westbound lanes being closed on Dec. 4 through 7 and the eastbound lanes closed Dec. 11 through 14.

To accommodate sewer improvement work, motorists will be unable to turn onto and from 112th Avenue Southeast at the intersection with Southeast 8th Street from Nov. 16 to Dec. 11.

Traffic on 112th Avenue Southeast will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Southeast 15th and 6th streets.

To access Interstate 405, drivers can enter or exit at Northeast 4th Street or Southeast 8th Street via 114th Avenue Southeast.

The construction is to replace aging sewer pipes and infrastructure.
