The northbound Interstate 5 on-ramp at Martin Way in Lacey will close from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 15, for tree felling, Intercity Transit announced.

The work is tied to construction at the Martin Way Park & Ride to improve bus access and provide faster service for Olympia Express riders, according to IT. Construction work will continue through mid-summer, and work on the site will temporarily reduce parking capacity at the park and ride.

Northbound Olympia Express, Route 620, may experience slight schedule delays due to trips being re-routed during the ramp closure. Riders should visit intercitytransit.com/rider-alerts for details.
