SKAGIT COUNTY, Wash. — Work on the Samish River Bridge deck overlay project will result in lane closures overnight beginning Monday, July 25th, through Thursday, July 28th.
For the 72-hour period from 6am Monday through 6am Thursday, the left lane of southbound I-5 south of the Bow weigh station will be closed. The left lane will remain open during this time.
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) officials say WSDOT contractor crews will be removing and replacing expansion joints while replacing the top portion of the deteriorating bridge deck with a new polyester deck overlay.
Travelers are advised to allow extra travel time and expect speed limit reductions through the work zone. There will also be a 12-foot-wide load restriction in place.
