In the upcoming days, Sound Transit contractor crews will initiate overnight ramp closures and lane reductions on I-5 from November 25-27 as part of the Lynnwood Light Rail extension project. The planned construction aims to enhance public transportation infrastructure and connectivity, ultimately benefiting the local community and beyond.
