REMINDER
Prepare for delays
Westbound U.S. 2 between Lake Stevens-Snohomish and Everett will be closed from 7 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Monday for the first of six planned weekend closures this spring and summer
The work over the weekend will remove the pothole-riddled, rutted and cracked pavement between the Highway 204 interchange and Ebey Slough. Crews then will inspect the westbound trestle, make any necessary repairs and put down new asphalt.
State transportation officials say 20th Street SE will be reversed to be westbound only. Drivers will detour under the trestle then up the ramp to rejoin westbound U.S. 2 just before the I-5 interchange.
