Daytime lane closure coming to I-5 in Thurston County, WSDOT says

Daytime travelers who use northbound Interstate 5 through Tumwater should be prepared for possible traffic delays, according to the state Department of Transportation.

That’s because from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday the right lane will close at Trosper Road.

The lane closure creates a work zone for state Department of Transportation crews to repair the pavement, according to a news release.

Northbound I-5 ramps to and from Trosper Road will remain open throughout the work.

Drivers are asked to plan ahead. Add travel time and expect congestion approaching the work zone.

The repairs require warm, dry weather to complete, so the work may be rescheduled if it rains.

Expect delays on northbound I-5 near Trosper Road in Tumwater Thursday. Right lane closed for WSDOT pavement repairs; ramps remain open.
