Starting Wednesday, Aug. 5, the right lane of northbound SR 522 will close from SR 202 to the SR 9 overpass for maintenance. This closure will last from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m.

WSDOT plans several other lane closures: I-90 will have two lanes closed between Eighth Avenue South and the floating bridge from 8 p.m. Aug. 4 to 3 a.m. Aug. 5. SR 526 will close its right lane from Evergreen Way to Casino Road on the night of Aug. 6-7. SR 211 will have both directions closed from milepost 2 to US-2 on July 31 from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The closures are part of routine maintenance and utility work. WSDOT urges drivers to expect delays and plan alternative routes. The most extensive work continues through Aug. 7, including US 2 traffic alternating with flaggers from Aug. 3 to 7.
