DUPONT –Travelers will see weekend daytime lane closures on southbound Interstate 5 approaching the Nisqually River Bridge during the morning hours of Saturday, April 26, and Sunday, April 27.
Washington State Department of Transportation bridge crews will close one lane of southbound I-5 approaching the bridge. The lane closure creates a work zone so crews can inspect the bridge using a specialized under bridge inspection truck.
Work schedule:
- 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, April 26
- 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday, April 27
What to expect:
- Reducing southbound I-5 to two lanes approaching the bridge will create delays for travelers.
The work is performed during daylight hours for safety.
Whenever near work zones please:
- Slow down – drive the posted speeds for worker and traveler safety.
- Be kind – workers are out there helping to keep people safe and improve the roadways.
- Pay attention – both to workers directing travelers and surrounding traffic.
- Stay calm – expect delays, leave early or take alternate routes if possible; no meeting or appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
