In this update:
We rescheduled September’s monthly meeting to tomorrow. We had technical difficulties last week, so you have another chance to register to learn about the bicycle and pedestrian bridge we're building over SR 520 in Montlake, upcoming highway closures and how we will permanently close the eastbound SR 520 on-ramp from Lake Washington Boulevard. Register below to attend and participate in a Q&A.
Date/Time: Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 12:30 p.m.
Register: https://bit.ly/Sept21_SR520_MonthlyMeeting
 Lake Washington Boulevard on-ramp to eastbound SR 520 will permanently close Friday, Sept. 30.
Reminder! The I-5 express lanes and the southbound I-5 off-ramp to Mercer Street are closing this weekend beginning Friday, Sept. 23.
The southbound I-5 off-ramp to Mercer Street will close at 9 p.m. Friday, with the express lanes closing at their regular time of 11 p.m. The Mercer Street off-ramp will reopen at 4 a.m. Monday and the express lanes will reopen at their normal weekday schedule of 5 a.m.
Crews working on the SR 520/I-5 Express Lanes Connection Project will start building another concrete pier that will support a new reversible ramp connecting the express lanes to SR 520. Crews will also continue work on a retaining wall for the project’s off-ramp to westbound Mercer Street.
Westbound lanes closed overnight Sept. 28 and 29
Westbound SR 520 will be closed from 92nd Avenue Northeast on the Eastside to I-5 in Seattle from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the nights of Wednesday, Sept. 28 and Thursday, Sept. 29. On those nights crews will realign traffic lanes, creating work zones to extend to the west the highway lid we're building over SR 520 in Montlake. The SR 520 bicycle and pedestrian trail will remain open.
 Both directions closed Sept. 30 – Oct. 3
SR 520 will be closed in both directions between I-5 in Seattle and 92nd Avenue Northeast on the Eastside from 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30 until 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 3 as crews continue realigning the highway lanes. The SR 520 bicycle and pedestrian trail will remain open. We will permanently close the eastbound SR 520 on-ramp from Lake Washington Boulevard on Friday, Sept. 30, so you’ll have to use the on-ramp at Montlake Boulevard when we reopen the highway Monday morning.
Crews are pouring concrete for the new eastbound SR 520 bridge deck over the Foster Island Trail. To keep you safe, the trail will be closed around the clock from Monday, Sept.19 until Friday, Sept. 30.
