SEATTLE - WSDOT crews will close the southbound I-5 tunnel exit to eastbound SR 520 on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. We will also close the left lane of southbound I-5 at the exit between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following morning.
During this closure, crews will replace a light pole and signal junction box that were recently damaged in separate collisions. They also will replace all the lights in the tunnel as part of routine maintenance.
Motorists should plan ahead and use local city streets or the northbound I-5 ramp to access SR 520.

This new traveler information system builds upon the highly successful Washington State Highway hotline that managed 4.6 million calls each year. Callers can also use 5-1-1 to get statewide construction, mountain pass condition, and state ferry system information, as well as toll free numbers for passenger rail and airlines. TTY users can call 1-800-833-6388.
