All eastbound lanes will remain open during the closure, and the westbound highway will reopen by 5 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3.
A second crane will be delivered the following Monday night to Tuesday morning, requiring an identical closure.
In addition to the highway lane closures, crews also will intermittently close a single northbound lane of Montlake Boulevard weeknights, as early as 7 p.m., throughout February. Timing and locations of the Montlake Boulevard lane closures will depend on construction sequencing. All lanes will be reopened by 6 a.m. the following day.
Also, a single-lane closure on eastbound ramps to and from Montlake Boulevard will take place Monday, Feb. 2, to Thursday, Feb. 5. The ramp lanes will close between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for drainage-installation work. Cars will still be able to use the ramps, but delays could occur depending on traffic volume.
Single-lane closures on northbound Montlake Boulevard will begin as early as this coming week. These intermittent nighttime closures will allow crews to widen sidewalk, improve pedestrian islands to meet ADA standards and prepare the area near a recently closed Montlake Boulevard bus stop and the now-removed bike lockers for construction of a new westbound off-ramp.
