Reminder: Weekend Northbound I-405 Closure Slated to Start at 11 p.m.

The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to close northbound Interstate 405 at 11 p.m. tonight (Sept. 30) through 4 a.m. Monday morning to reconnect the ramps on I 405 and State Route 520.

The closure was postponed last week after rain forecast for last weekend and the same could happen this weekend if rain is forecast.

Southbound I-405 will be open to traffic all weekend.

Drivers should be aware of the permanent changes that will be made to the onramps. Read this story on Bellevue Patch for more information: 

When crews reopen the road Monday morning, drivers headed to Redmond, Seattle and Kirkland will use new ramps to get to I-405 and SR 520.
