The Seattle Department of Transportation has announced long-term lane reductions on Interstate 5, set to begin in 2025 and continue through 2027. This initiative is aimed at enhancing traffic flow and improving the driving experience through the heart of Seattle. To facilitate public understanding and engagement, an online open house will be held, providing an opportunity for residents and travelers to learn more about the project and voice their concerns. The construction is expected to have a significant impact on daily commuters, making it essential for drivers to plan their routes accordingly. Attendees of the online session will receive critical updates on timelines and construction phases.

This proactive approach ensures that the community is well-informed about developments that may affect their travel. By participating in the open house, locals can ask questions and gain insights directly from the project managers. Such infrastructure projects highlight the importance of community involvement in transportation planning.
