Northbound State Route 99 will be reduced to one lane over bridges in south Seattle and Tukwila from Friday, July 21, to early Monday, July 24, 2023, for bridge deck repairs.
Ramps connecting northbound SR 99 and Tukwila International Boulevard in Tukwila also will close for part of the weekend.
Contractors working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will primarily work between 9 p.m. and 11 a.m., except for Monday, July 24, when construction will end by 5 a.m.
Crews will repair one lane at a time on each bridge starting with the left lane. Once work is finished, they will reopen the left lane and close the right lane. This could lead to brief periods where both lanes are closed, likely after 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, July 23.
