Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will replace concrete panels during the lane reduction and ramp closure.
All work needs conditions that are dry enough, and the scheduled reopening time may change due to variables in the concrete curing process.

- The northbound I-5 off-ramp to Lakeway Drive (exit 253) will close from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 2.
People traveling through the area during these hours should expect delays and use alternate routes while the Lakeway Drive off-ramp is closed.
