22 nights of I-5 lane closures are planned in northwest Washington in 2027

Expect work on Interstate 5 through Bellingham, Washington, over several nights next year, as the State Department of Transportation replaces entire concrete panels on the roadway. Working at night is safer for crews and creates fewer traffic problems, especially for a project of this scope, WSDOT officials said. Bellingham City Council members unanimously approved a waiver of overnight noise limits on Monday for the project, which is planned for 22 non-consecutive nights between March and December 2027. Work is planned at 10 locations on a two-mile stretch of freeway between Lakeway and Sunset drives. Mike Wilson, assistant director of the Public Works Department and head of its Engineering Division, told a City Council committee that the work is part of a program that stretches from Bellevue to the U.S.-Canada border. “There may be some closures on the interstate that could cause impacts to (city streets).

Work locations include both sides of the freeway at Lakeway Drive, Meador Avenue, Alabama Street and East Sunset Drive.
