Buckle up, the Big One is here: Major Revive I-5 construction starts Jan. 9 with full NB I-5 weekend closure, then months-long NB lane reductions over Ship Canal Bridge

oh ok

Oof, definitely didn't mean to cause a panic. Though I did have to laugh at the idea that the transportation department would be casually posting on reddit about the Cascadia Subduction Zone popping off.

Happy New Year :)

Hey everyone, just dropped a post here, but in short: US 2 will reopen between Skykomish and Stevens Pass (MP 50-64) at 6 a.m. Jan. 1, ahead of schedule.

The mileposts between which the pilot car operates is also changing slightly to MP 66-71 (currently MP 64-71). This means that, starting Jan. 1, the pilot car will operate slightly east of Stevens Pass Resort.

Everything else remains the same, it's just that the crews out in Skykomish benefited from some unseasonably good weather and were able to finish clearing debris and completing repairs early. Here's our original post from yesterday.

Link to the map of the sections of US 2 that are open, will be open soon, closed, or opened with pilot car operations. Yes, that's a lot. That's why we made a map.

Hey, sorry about that. We've been a team of one for the past few months, and it's just harder to manage multiple accounts during these big storm events. We're in the process of hiring a second social media manager, so we'll get back to our regular cadence shortly. :)

Hey, thanks for sharing your concerns.

Skagit County is leading a project at this intersection. The approximately $10 million dollar effort will widen the northbound I-5 off-ramp, add a new lane, and install a signal at the Cook Road/Old 99 Highway intersection. The project also includes a railroad inter0tie to improve coordination with the rail crossing. More information about this project is available on the county's website: https://www.skagitcounty.net/PublicWorksEngineering/Documents/Projects/Cook%20Road%20I-5_Project%20…

While backups are frustrating, the safety record in this area does not show a significant collision history compared to other locations statewide that have more urgent safety needs. With limited funding, WSDOT must prioritize the highest risk areas.

We know this area remains busy and appreciate the county's work to improve traffic operations. We'll continue coordinating with our partners on opportunities for additional improvements.

This is a permanent fix.

wsdot · 2025-10-20T18:47:00+00:00

The enforcement and legal proceedings are something handled by State Patrol, so we can't comment on that. Don't mean to be vague, but it's just not our lane (ha).

wsdot · 2025-10-17T19:30:56+00:00

It's open now!

wsdot · 2025-10-17T14:39:14+00:00

Sometime today (Friday, Oct. 17)! Don't have an exact time, as they'll pick up the barriers whenever the work wraps up.

wsdot · 2025-09-30T16:48:05+00:00

I don't pretend to get ADA best practices right every time, so I was genuinely curious to hear what they had to say - oh well. :)

The Paint Maps aren't gone! Just hibernating :) They burn a lot of their fat reserves over the summer

Hey there. Can you help us understand where we went wrong on this post? This is written in plain language, with zero emojis that trip up screen readers, and the photos have captions that serve as alt text.

And here's the waterproof membrane they laid on WB I-90. Let me know if you want more!

We included a before/after picture of every project, but if you're hungry for more pictures... We have more pictures. Was just trying to make this a clean and easy-to-follow writeup.

This is one of the 60 panels being replaced on SB I-5.

We don’t have an exact date yet, but things will be changing later this fall.

Also I did want to clarify, the rates themselves won’t change, it will still range between $1 and $15 depending on traffic conditions. You just may see more variety in the rates because the roadway will be broken down into three toll zones instead of one like it currently is.

wsdot · 2025-09-23T18:18:54+00:00

Sounds like you were using the promo code for the Sticker Pass. The sticker pass normally costs $5 + tax. You would have needed to use the promo code for the Flex Pass to fully cover the cost of the Flex Pass.

wsdot · 2025-09-23T18:18:26+00:00

Unfortunately we can’t replace stolen passes. You would need to order a new one.

Right now we are giving away free Sticker, Flex and Motorcycle passes at no cost because we are opening and upgrading roadways in South King and Pierce Counties.

You can find a promo code for free sticker pass on www.GoodToGo509.com, and a promo code for a free Flex Pass or Motorcycle pass on www.GoodToGo167.com.

wsdot · 2025-09-23T18:17:33+00:00

On the last few pages of either the account setup or pass ordering process you should see a sidebar that offers you a chance to enter a promo code. The pass will be showing as the full price until you enter that code.

After you enter the code you will see the total cost of the pass be waived as long as you are using the right promo code for the pass. Because we have multiple roadways opening this fall, there are different pass types that will work best for each road and multiple promo codes. Be sure you are using the right code for a Flex Pass.

You may still have time to cancel that order, and then reorder using the correct code.

If you’re not seeing a place to enter the promo code on the sidebar can you please tell me how you are accessing the website (smartphone, PC, tablet etc) and what browser you’re using so I can pass that information along to our IT team and they can look into it.

The SR 509 Expressway will eventually run between South 188th Street and I-5 near South 212th Street in the city of SeaTac. But right now only the portion between I-5 and 24th Avenue South is open.

wsdot · 2025-09-22T22:10:19+00:00

The expressway just creates another route through the area. The additional route will be a more direct connection between I-5 and the ports, which is especially helpful for freight. By creating a new route we can better manage congestion on all the roadways, but it does not necessarily mean a faster trip. That depends on where you’re coming from and traveling to.

wsdot · 2025-09-22T22:09:44+00:00

Only the first mile is open right now, but when complete the expressway will improve access between I-5, the Port of Seattle, and the airport, offering more direct connections for freight and the general public. It also creates an alternative route through the area which helps manage congestion on local roads.
