The next westbound Interstate 90 lane reduction west of Preston begins at 10 a.m. Monday, April 17. The freeway will be reduced to one lane until 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, to repair damaged pavement.
The work is at the same location where contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation replaced pavement on the right side of westbound I-90 April 10-12. For work beginning April 17, crews will shift all traffic to the right lane to create a safe area for those completing the work.
People traveling on westbound I-90 are likely to experience delays, particularly during peak morning commute hours. The area has limited alternative routes:
- People going to the Green River Valley south of Renton should consider using State Route 18 and SR 169 or SR 167.
- From the North Bend/Snoqualmie area, people should consider using SR 202 to Southeast Duthie Hill Road/Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road.
Work on I-90 continues through May
The next work scheduled in this area will be from 10 p.m. Sunday, April 30, to 7 a.m. Wednesday, May 3, on eastbound I-90 about a mile west of the Preston interchange.
More work will take place on Westbound I-90 later in May.
People who are traveling can get real-time traffic information on mobile phones with the WSDOT traffic app and by following the WSDOT traffic Twitter feed.
