Southbound travelers on I-5 in the vicinity of SR 516/Kent Des Moines Road should be aware of construction work this weekend – Saturday, Sept. 24 and Sunday, Sept. 25 – that will require a two-lane closure on southbound I-5 between South 200th Street/Military Road South and SR 516, as well as a closure of the southbound I-5 off-ramp to SR 516.
What travelers can expect:
-
- Two lanes of southbound I-5 closed between South 200th Street/Military Road South and SR 516
- 11:59 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23 to 2 p.m. Sunday Sept. 25
- Ramp closure of the southbound I-5 off-ramp to SR 516
- 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25
- Two lanes of southbound I-5 closed between South 200th Street/Military Road South and SR 516
Drivers will follow a signed detour and should plan for an additional 15 minutes of travel time.
The lane closures will allow contractor crews to install storm sewer pipes under the southbound I-5 off-ramp to SR 516 and replace damaged concrete pavement on I-5 as part of the SR 509 Completion Project.
Let’s hope this will be accomplished with ease. Without accidents and stressed drivers.
