Daytime travelers who use northbound Interstate 5 in Tumwater should plan ahead, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) advises.
From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, June 25, the right lane will close at Trosper Road. The lane closure creates a work zone for WSDOT crews to repair the pavement.
Northbound I-5 ramps to and from Trosper Road will remain open throughout the work.
Residents should add travel time and expect congestion approaching the work zone. These repairs require warm, dry weather to complete. The work may be rescheduled if it rains.
WSDOT requests that drivers in the area:
• Slow down – drive the posted speeds, they’re there for everyone’s safety.
• Be kind – workers are out there helping to keep everyone safe and improve the roadways.
• Pay attention – both to workers directing traffic and to fellow travelers.
• Stay calm – expect delays, leave early or take alternate routes if possible.
Travelers are encouraged to sign up for email updates about work on state roads in Thurston County. Real-time travel information is available from the WSDOT app at https://tinyurl.com/bd3cchtd.
