WSDOT wants input on strategies to improve I-5 corridor from Tumwater to Dupont

I-5 motorists and other South Sound residents have an opportunity to provide feedback on strategies aimed at improving commutes and conditions along the Interstate 5 corridor in Thurston and Pierce counties.

The Washington State Department of Transportation has created an online open house focusing on operations and intersection improvements on and off I-5 from Exit 99 in Tumwater to Exit 116 in DuPont. The strategies are a result of a Planning and Environmental Linkages study.

Participants of the online open house will view potential projects to widen I-5 and increase vehicle capacity and multimodal opportunities as well as improve the ability of outlying state highways to accommodate traffic during a closure on I-5.

Feedback will be accepted through Monday, March 28.

To find materials and provide feedback, go to Engage.wsdot.wa.gov

Those without their own broadband service can find free Wi-Fi access at the Timberland Regional Library and Pierce County Library systems. Additional Wi-Fi hotspots are available via the Washington State Department of Commerce website.
