I-5 lane closures begin Saturday in Moses Lake

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The left lane of northbound Interstate 5 will close from 6 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, to Sunday, Aug. 16, between Samish Way and Iowa Street for maintenance, according to WSDOT. The Iowa Street on-ramp to northbound I-5 will also close from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 15.

WSDOT says the closures are part of routine maintenance and will affect drivers traveling through Moses Lake during morning commute times. Detours are not mentioned in the notice but typically use alternate routes like local streets or other ramps.

The I-5 maintenance work follows ongoing paving projects near Grand Mound, which will include overnight closures until Aug. 29. Drivers should plan for delays and check WSDOT’s website for real-time updates.
