Southbound I-5 lane, ramp closure expected overnight this week in Whatcom County
Motorists can expect overnight closures on southbound Interstate 5 this week between Blaine and Ferndale for lane repairs and improvements, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
The closure will take place Nov. 12 - 14 between State Route 543 in Blaine and the Nooksack River Bridge in Ferndale.
“Along this 10-mile stretch of southbound I-5 in Whatcom County, the freeway lanes, shoulders, and some on- and off-ramp connection points are showing signs of deterioration, including potholes, cracks, and ruts,” WSDOT said in a project overview statement.
The right lane of southbound I-5 between Portal Way and the Nooksack River Bridge in Ferndale will be closed from 8 p.m. on Nov. 12 to 6 a.m. on Nov. 13. The Portal Way to southbound I-5 on-ramp will also be closed.
The left lane of I-5 between State Route 543 in Blaine and the Nooksack River Bridge will be closed from 8 p.m. on Nov. 13 to 6 a.m. on Nov. 14.
The repair project is expected to be complete after these closures, according to WSDOT.
