Full weekend closure of 116th ramp
People headed south from the Tulalip-Marysville area this weekend might need to budget extra time into their trips.
Contractor crews from Reece Construction are expected to close the 116th Street NE onramp to southbound I-5 from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday as part of the ongoing Tulalip Tribes interchange improvement project.
This work is weather-dependent, though not as much as the U.S. 2 trestle project.
A similar closure is expected Sept. 14 to 17 for the northbound I-5 offramp.
