North Capitol Hills 10th Ave E overpass closed for weekend construction

The 10th Ave E overpass in Northern Capitol Hill will close this weekend from 7 AM to 10 PM for construction related to the 520 Portage Bay Bridge and Roanoke Lid project. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) advises drivers to follow signed detours and plan for extended travel times. This closure is part of a broader $1. 4 billion infrastructure project aimed to improve traffic flow and connectivity in the area, with completion expected by 2031. WSDOT stresses the importance of driving carefully during this busy construction period.

For real-time updates, drivers can reach WSDOT’s 24-hour hotline at (425) 319-4520. This construction will significantly affect local traffic patterns and could lead to delays in the area. Residents and commuters should prepare for the disruption and seek alternative routes as necessary. The ongoing project reflects a long-term investment in local infrastructure aimed at enhancing transportation efficiency.
