If you’re planning to drive somewhere for Memorial Day weekend – make sure you plan ahead.
The Washington State Department of Transportation says to expect summer-like crowds on the highways.
Most state highway construction will pause Friday through Tuesday, May 23-27, to help ease congestion. That includes projects on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass and the Vantage Bridge.
Weekend toll rates will be in effect on Monday, May 27, on the SR 520 bridge and SR 99 tunnel.
The I-405 express toll lanes and SR 167 HOT lanes will be free and open to all drivers on the Monday holiday.
WSDOT has created a series of graphs to see how holiday traffic may impact your plans:
