ISSAQUAH, Wash. — The first of several multi-day lane closures on Interstate 90 in Issaquah, which will occur over the next two months, began Monday morning.
The Washington State Department of Transportation says crews are working on bridge and pothole repairs in westbound lanes, east of the city.
Monday’s work will focus on bridges between the Preston Interchange at Southeast 82nd Street and Highlands Drive. From Monday at 10 a.m. to Wednesday at 6 p.m. the interstate will be down to one lane at this stretch.
The city of Issaquah recommends preparing extra time and staying home if possible.
“This is a big deal for those traveling in the Issaquah area (this) week,” said WSDOT. “Please give yourself lots of extra time, be patient, and be safe near the work zones.”
There will be three more similar closings this spring, according to WSDOT.
Heads up I-90 travelers - next week!
