Closure and Detour Information.
Progress continues on the Salmon Creek Interchange Project, and part of that progress will require that both directions of I-5 at the I-205 junction be closed from June 7, 2013 at 10 pm until Sunday, June 10, 2013 at 5 am while they install a 165-foot section of the new interchange over the interstate.
Northbound I-5 will be closed between SR 500 and I-205, and the northbound on- and off-ramps will be closed at the following interchanges: NE 39th Street, NE Hwy 99/Main Street, NE 78th Street and NE 99th Street. Local residents should plan alternate routes to access I-205 during the closure weekend.
Crews are setting concrete girders over I-5 to build a section of the new NE 139th Street Interchange. Between the dozen 165-foot girders and three 500-ton cranes, the installation work will take up all lanes of the interstate. Crews will work around the clock to close I-5, set up equipment and secure the girders in place above the roadway. Each girder weighs nearly 175,000 pounds and will take approximately three hours to install.
