I-5/SR16 Eastbound SR 16 Nalley Valley

Weather permitting, crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will close eastbound State Route 16 and area ramps two nights.

11 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 2-3
Crews will close all lanes of eastbound SR 16 at South Union Avenue, the South Union Avenue on-ramp to eastbound SR 16, and both newly-constructed South Sprague Avenue on-ramps to eastbound SR 16/Interstate 5. The roadway and ramps will reopen at 4 a.m. each following morning. If work progresses as scheduled, the third eastbound SR 16 lane will be open to traffic at 4 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 4.
