The off-ramp from southbound I-5 to 128th Street SW is scheduled to be closed Monday through Thursday nights for work to add a second left-turn lane on the off-ramp.

The closures are planned for 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night.
Drivers will follow a signed detour using southbound I-5, 164th S

treet SW and northbound I-5.

Crews will also close up to two lanes of 128th Street SW near I-5 Monday through Thursday nights. Closures will start at 9 p.m. and all lanes will reopen by 5 a.m.

On Wednesday and Thursday nights, crews also will close the on-ramp from 128th Street SW to southbound I-5 from 10:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. for grinding and striping work.

Crews will provide a signed detour using northbound I-5, Everett Mall Way, and the westbound Highway 527 ramp to southbound I-5.

The work is part of a $23 million to improve traffic flow and reduce backups on the off-ramp by adding the turn lane. The work is expected to be completed in the fall.
