Planning Your Route During the Summer Season

With the summer season in full swing, please know that local events may further impact traffic.

Please keep in mind that as part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening project, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has several closures this summer that may impact overall traffic flow.

For the latest information, we recommend checking the City of Renton events and Visit Renton calendar to help plan your trips accordingly.
