I-5: Downtown Bellingham on/off-ramp improvements #7962   
Milepost: 251.9-254.8
Chris Damitio , Project Engineer, 360-788-7400

The on- and off-ramps no longer meet state and federal design standards . They are short, and that makes it difficult for drivers to enter and exit I-5 safely, which can lead to congestion at interchanges and backups on the interstate. The ramps need to be improved so that they can carry traffic safer and more efficiently. 

  • December 2011 - This project is in winter shutdown and will resume in the spring when the weather improves.

Large cracks are appearing along 12 miles of northbound I-5 between Burlington and Bellingham (specifically, between mileposts 232 and 244). There are old concrete panels beneath the asphalt that are causing the pavement to crack and separate.
