SEATTLE - WSDOT will restrict flammable cargo in both directions of I-5 under the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 8.
The restriction will be in effect while the fire suppression systems under the Convention Center undergo routine maintenance tests. The fire suppression system will be disabled during the restriction.
Drivers transporting flammable materials on I-5 should use alternate routes such as Interstate 405, I-90 or SR 520.

Drivers can now get real time traffic and weather information by dialing 5-1-1 from most phones. 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.
