Expect backups and delays if you plan on taking eastbound I-90 in Seattle this weekend.
The Washington Department of Transportation will close all but two eastbound lanes near the I-90 Mount Baker Tunnel from 7 p.m. Friday until Sunday at noon. Crews will be replacing the old drainage covers with permanent seals that can withstand the weight of vehicles.
In addition to the lane closures, WSDOT says the north and southbound Rainier Avenue South on-ramps to eastbound I-90 will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday. The north and southbound on-ramps will close again from 7 p.m. Saturday until 9 p.m. Sunday.
This weekend’s work is part of a larger $21.7 million project on I-90.
