Tuesday, April 21, to the morning of Friday, April 24 -The eastbound SR 520 off-ramp to Montlake Blvd. in Seattle will close for construction nightly beginning at 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. During this time, all traffic entering eastbound SR 520 from I-5 will pay the SR 520 Bridge Toll during the hours this ramp is closed. Those who do not want to pay the toll or who need to access Montlake Blvd. from I-5 must use alternate routes.

Crews will be installing the final layer of pavement along nearly two miles of EB SR 18 during this closure. Use alternate routes. FREIGHT ALERT: Issaquah-Hobart Road is not suitable for freight traffic and semi trucks. Trucks should detour via WB SR 169 to NB I-405, then to EB SR 900 and EB on I-90.
