Revive I-5 Lane Reductions

Updated: Friday, August 7, 2026

Visitors traveling through Seattle by car may encounter increased traffic during Interstate 5 upgrades. Northbound I-5 is reduced to two lanes across the Ship Canal Bridge from mid-July to the end of 2026 so crews can repair and resurface the bridge deck.

More information and a full list of closures and reductions is available on WSDOT’s Revive I-5 wepbage.
