South Everett Airport Road Exit From Westbound 526 To Be Closed Wednesday Night

This heads-up in from the Washington State Department of Transportation for drivers in Everett, Washington.

People traveling on State Route 526 overnight Wednesday, Sept. 20, including those heading to Seattle Paine Field International Airport in Everett, should plan for a nighttime closure of the westbound SR 526 off-ramp to Airport Road.

Beginning at 11 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20, through 4:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, people will not be able to use the off-ramp from westbound SR 526 to Airport Road. A signed detour will be available around the closure, but people should plan for extra travel time, especially if they are headed to the airport.

This is part of a project to strengthen four bridges along SR 526 in Everett to better withstand a major earthquake. During the closure, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will complete electrical work at the Airport Road underpass.
