Northbound I-405 closure in Kirkland expected to cause major delays Aug. 28-31

KIRKLAND – People traveling through Kirkland along the I-405 corridor should prepare for significant delays the weekend of Aug. 28-31, as crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation make progress on the I-405/Northeast 85th Street Interchange and Inline BRT Station Project.

Northbound I-405 closure in Kirkland

All lanes of northbound I-405 will close from Northeast 70th Place to Northeast 85th Street from 11 p.m. Friday Aug. 28 to 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 31. Up to three lanes of northbound I-405 also will close from the Northeast 85th Street on-ramp to Northeast 100th Street.

The following ramps will also close:

• Northeast 70th Place on-ramp to northbound I-405
• Northbound I-405 off-ramp to Northeast 85th Street

A signed detour will be in place. The Northeast 85th Street on-ramp to northbound I-405 will remain open.

Crews will dig out a section of the freeway to install a concrete culvert to reconnect the fish passage beneath northbound I-405 to the section under southbound I-405 that was built during a full closure in July.
