Where are we all hanging before the game? I am a local Seattle resident and work down here but curious where folks are planning to go before the game but have tickets. I know Pier 62 is getting a ton of traction but may be a bit far if you want to end up back at the stadium

Why did the fish cross I-405? Well he hasn't quite crossed yet because he needs a tunnel under the freeway...

But in all seriousness SB I-405 in Kirkland will close May 29-June 1 so crews can cut across a section of the freeway to create a tunnel for the new fish passage and then cover the roadway again with paving and striping.

This work is part of the I-405/NE 85th Street Interchange and Inline BRT Station Project and will help restore fish habitat connectivity in the area.

Let's get into the closure details:

• 11 p.m. Friday (May 29): Southbound I-405 will fully CLOSE in Kirkland
• 4 a.m. Monday (June 1): Southbound I-405 will fully OPEN in Kirkland

Lane reductions will begin as early as 8 p.m. Friday. Signed detours will be in place.

The following ramps will also close:

• NE 116th St on-ramp to SB I-405
• NE 85th St on-ramp to SB I-405

CLOSURE SCHEDULE SPECIFICS:

11 p.m. Friday (May 19) to 6 a.m. Saturday (May 30):

• SB I-405 closed from NE 124th St to N 70th Pl
• NE 124th St on-ramp to SB I-405 also closed

6 a.m. Saturday (May 30) to 4 a.m. Monday (June 1):

• SB I-405 closed from the I-405/NE 85th St interchange to N 70th Pl

Drivers continuing south on I-405 will follow signed detours from the NE 85th St off-ramp.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR DRIVERS:

This closure comes during another busy weekend of construction work across the Puget Sound region, including additional closures on SR 520, I-90/SR 18 and continued lane reductions on NB I-5 over the Ship Canal Bridge. Expect significant congestion and longer travel times throughout the weekend, especially during daytime hours.
