Northbound I-5 ramp in Lacey closed overnight Aug. 1-2 for striping

OLYMPIA, WA – The northbound Interstate 5 (I-5) on-ramp at Martin Way, near College St., will be closed overnight for striping on Tuesday, Aug. 1 and Wednesday, Aug. 2. Closures will occur between 8:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. During the overnight closures, traffic control measures and a detour for northbound I-5 will be in place. The closures are necessary to allow removal of temporary striping, placement of permanent striping and shoulder work on the ramp. Southbound access to I-5 will not be impacted.

Construction is weather dependent. Updates or changes to the planned closure dates will be posted on electronic signage to keep motorists informed.

Motorists using Martin Way to access northbound I-5 are advised to use alternate routes during the closures. Visit intercitytransit.com/Construction/MWPR-improvements for construction details, including dates and times for the planned closures.

The last northbound Olympia Express (Route 620) may experience slight schedule delays due to trips being re-routed to access I-5 north. Passengers should visit intercitytransit.com/rider-alerts for details.

Intercity Transit is constructing improvements at the Martin Way Park & Ride to improve bus access and provide faster service for Olympia Express riders.
