Most restrictions are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. Any lane on the road could be closed between the two cross streets found in most listings. Weather conditions may change work plans. Freeway work through Everett Multiple lanes of I-5 may be closed Monday through Thursday nights and on some Friday nights throughout the rest of the year. Closures will be in both directions in various locations between Highway 526 (the Boeing Freeway) and Marine View Drive. Southbound closures begin at 7 p.m. and end at 4 a.m. Northbound closures begin at 10 p.m. and end at 5 a.m. Friday night closures end at 7 a.m. Saturdays. Watch for traffic signs. Through November, a barrier will separate the westbound U.S. 2 exit to the southbound I-5 onramp from the exit ramp to California and Walnut streets. The speed limit is reduced to 25 mph. I-5 overpass work continues between Highway 526 (the Boeing Freeway) and Marine View Drive in Everett. The state will close lanes and reroute drivers on several downtown Everett streets, including Broadway (under 41st Street), 41st Street, Pacific Avenue, Lowell Road-52nd Street, Hewitt Avenue, Harrison Avenue, Smith Avenue and Summit Avenue. Street closures could cause ramp and city street backups. Drivers are encouraged to use other routes. Weather permitting, night crews will close up to three lanes of northbound I-5 and three lanes of southbound on weeknights for grinding and adding traffic loops. Through September.
