Sadly, WSDOT's social media hasn't discovered Lemmy yet, so cross posting:
Good news, late-night downtown Seattle travelers – we’re about to finish one of our construction projects in the area! From 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. nightly Tuesday, July 9, through Friday morning, July 12, we’ll reduce southbound I-5 to three lanes between Yale Avenue and James Street, close the Yale Avenue/Howell Street on-ramp to southbound I-5, close the southbound I-5 off-ramp to Union Street (Exit 165B) and reduce the southbound I-5 off-ramp to James Street (Exit 165A) to one lane. The usual signed detours will be available around the Yale Avenue and Union Street ramp closures.
The new attenuator along the southbound Interstate 5 off-ramp to James Street in Downtown Seattle. The metal structure protects a concrete barrier along the ramp at is yellow at the end. The attenuator is surrounded by concrete barrier and a truck sits near it with flashing yellow lights.
This work marks the last of 23 guardrails and barriers we will be updating in King or Snohomish counties as part of the Northwest Region Breakaway Cable Terminal Replacement project.
