Overview
WSDOT made safety improvements to the I-5 reversible ramp to and from the express lanes and SR 522 (Lake City Way). This ramp is the most heavily used in the I-5 express lanes system, carrying 30 percent of express lane traffic each morning.
Crews repaved the reversible express lane ramp, which was cracked in many areas. Crews also replaced damaged guardrail.
 | Improves Safety
The new pavement is expected to increase vehicle traction, and new signs and guardrail are expected to improve safety.
