The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will commence repairs on July 14 across 65 locations on state highways in King, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, and Island counties. The strategic preservation project includes essential crack sealing and concrete panel replacement, aimed at enhancing highway longevity and providing smoother rides for motorists. Work will start in Whatcom County and move southward, with nighttime lane and ramp closures expected. Speed limits will be lowered in work zones to ensure safety for both travelers and construction workers. Some of the repairs will extend into 2026, highlighting the project's long-term impact.

WSDOT encourages travelers to visit their website for detailed schedules and real-time traffic updates. The project represents a significant investment in infrastructure maintenance, which is crucial for local economies and daily commuters. Enhanced road conditions will promote safer travel and potentially reduce vehicle wear and tear.
