Heading Off-Island Next Week?

You might want to be aware of some road maintenance coming up. Here’s more from WSDOT:

EXPECT DELAYS: Deception Pass rockslide cleanup next week

If you’ve driven across Deception Pass bridge recently, you’ve likely seen the remnants from a small rockslide from a few weeks ago on the side of SR 20.

On Wednesday, March 27 and Thursday, March 28, our maintenance crews will clean up those rocks and repair a log guardrail.

In order to do this work safely, crews will need to close a direction of SR 20 during the morning commute with flaggers alternating traffic through the one open lane. Since there is no detour around this work, commuters should prepare for long delays on or off Whidbey Island.

Consider getting on the road before sunrise or after the peak travel times to avoid the height of the congestion, and keep posted on traffic conditions on the @wsdot_north Twitter account.

Double lane closures continue on I-5 through Skagit

Crews working on the I-5 paving and concrete rehab project will resume their double lane reductions in the northbound direction next week.

They will also need to close all the off-ramps between Starbird Road and the Stillaguamish River Bridge overnight, Monday through Wednesday, for pavement repair work. Don’t worry though…they will only close one ramp at a time and each closure will only last two to four hours.

Signed detours will also be up.

Check our I-5 construction update page for updated closure information.
