Better traction coming to I-5 ramp: A curvy Everett on-ramp prone to crashes in wet weather will soon get a new kind of surface treatment.
Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation plan to close the eastbound Highway 526 ramp to southbound I-5 from 10 p.m. June 12 to 5 a.m. June 15 (the work is weather dependent). A detour will be posted.
The process, high friction surface treatment, involves attaching a sand-like aggregate to the roadway surface using industrial strength glue. The grittier roadway surface gives tires extra traction when the roadway surface is wet. While this project is the first of its kind for WSDOT in Puget Sound, it has proven successful in many other states across the country, staff say.
