The on-ramp to northbound SR 99 at Royal Brougham Way will be open, along with both directions of the viaduct through Seattle.

WSDOT said crews condensed their sign-bridge work needed before the SR 99 tunnel can open to traffic later this year.

Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to plan their trip before leaving.
