SEATTLE — The Washington State Department of Transportation will close four Interstate 5 off-ramps on Saturday night, July 4, following the City of Seattle’s Fourth of July celebrations.

The following ramp closures are planned to start around 10 p.m. on Saturday:

  • The northbound I-5 off-ramp to Mercer Street/Seattle Center (exit 167)
  • The northbound I-5 off-ramp to Lakeview Boulevard (exit 168A)
  • The southbound I-5 off-ramp to Boylston Avenue/Roanoke Street (exit 168A)
  • The southbound I-5 off-ramp to Mercer Street/Seattle Center (exit 167)

It’s unclear what time the ramps will reopen, though it’ll likely be once the celebration traffic has all cleared.
