Summer of construction on Northeast 85th Street, including a full closure from July 26-29

 

This summer will be significant for the I-405/Northeast 85th Street Interchange and Inline BRT Station Project as crews work to carry out complex construction activities to build new I-405 bridge columns on Northeast 85th Street.

This work will require:

 

• Reduced left turn lanes to northbound and southbound I-405 on-ramps beginning in July
• Full closure of Northeast 85th Street

Northeast 85th Street between Kirkland Way/114th Avenue Northeast and 120th Avenue Northeast will be closed in both directions from 9 p.m. Friday, July 26 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 29. Signed detours will be in place.
