Beginning on Monday, November 11, two right lanes on northbound I-5 in Everett will be closed nightly from 8 p. m. to 6 a. m. until November 15, impacting traffic flow in the area.

Motorists are advised to prepare for delays and seek alternative routes during the construction period. Signage and traffic management strategies will be put in place to assist drivers navigating through the area. The improvements are part of a broader effort to modernize the infrastructure and accommodate growing traffic demands.

Local residents and frequent travelers are encouraged to stay informed about the project’s progress. This initiative underscores the importance of ongoing infrastructure upgrades in maintaining efficient transportation networks.
