US 12 will close a single lane over I-5 nightly from 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, through 6 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 20, for bridge repairs. Travelers must follow a detour using northbound I-5 to Exit 71 for SR 508, then southbound back to US 12. The closure affects drivers crossing the I-5 corridor during evening and overnight hours. WSDOT warns of delays and urges drivers to slow down and stay focused. The project is part of ongoing maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the bridge structure. The lane closure is scheduled to end on Aug. 20, 2026, at 6 a.m. WSDOT will provide updates on the project webpage if changes occur.
