Drivers on Interstate 5 should expect delays near the Nisqually River Bridge over the next two weekends when crews will close a lane of the freeway to pressure wash the bridge.

The closure will be on northbound I-5 from 6:30 a.m. to noon Saturday and 7:30 a.m. to noon Sunday.

The following weekend, the closure will be on southbound I-5 on from 7:30 a.m. to noon both March 17 and 18.

Washington State Department of Transportation says drivers should give themselves extra time, travel early or postpone travel until the afternoon.
