Nightly I-5 lane reductions scheduled in both directions Monday and Tuesday, April 27-28, in Bellingham
BELLINGHAM – From 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, April 27-28, northbound and southbound Interstate 5 will be reduced to one lane in multiple locations between Samish Way (milepost 252) and Meridian Street (milepost 256) in Bellingham.
Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will collect roadway samples for materials testing during the lane reductions.
This work supports a future project that will preserve roadways around the region during the 2027 construction season.
More nighttime I-5 work
People traveling south of Bellingham also should expect nightly lane reductions from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday, April 26, through Friday morning, May 1, at two other locations:
- The right lanes of northbound and southbound I-5 will close near North Lake Samish Road (mileposts 245 to 247).
- The left lanes of northbound and southbound I-5 will close near Alger Road (mileposts 240 to 242).
This work is part of an ongoing fish passage project removing barriers to fish migration along I-5 near Lake Samish.
