I-405 Lane Closures This Week In Bellevue: What To Know

BELLEVUE, WA — Eastside drivers should plan on late-night travel impacts to continue into next week on Interstate 405, where crews are closing lanes each night near Bellevue's Main Street. The closures kicked off Monday with three lanes blocked in both directions near the new Main Street Bridge and full northbound closures were scheduled for overnight Wednesday and Thursday.

Overnight lane reductions on southbound I-405 will continue into Monday morning.

The latest closures will give contractors time to set new girders along the new bridge, which is being replaced as part of a large project to widen the freeway between Renton and Bellevue. The Washington State Department of Transportation demolished the old bridge in June and estimated it could take up to five months to complete construction on the new structure.

Here is the timeline for this week's work from WSDOT:

• Monday, Aug. 8, to the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 9 – Up to three lanes of northbound I-405 between the I-90 interchange and Northeast Sixth Street will be closed nightly from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
• Monday, Aug. 8, to the morning of Monday, Aug. 15 – Up to three lanes of southbound I-405 between Northeast 70th Place and Main Street will be closed nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
• Tuesday, Aug. 9, to the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 10 – All lanes of northbound I-405 between Southeast Eighth Street and Northeast Fourth Street will be closed from 11 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.
• Wednesday, Aug. 10, to the morning of Thursday, Aug. 11 – All lanes of northbound I-405 between Southeast Eighth Street and Northeast Fourth Street will be closed from 11 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.
• Thursday, Aug. 11, to the morning of Friday, Aug. 12 – All lanes of northbound I-405 between Southeast Eighth Street and Northeast Fourth Street will be closed from 11 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.
