Thurston County Traffic: Drivers using Interstate 5 in Nisqually may experience delays during morning hours over two consecutive weekends. Washington State Department of Transportation bridge maintenance crews will close one lane of I-5 at the Nisqually River Bridge over each weekend for annual bridge cleaning.

  • 4:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 7-8
  • Northbound I-5 reduced to two lanes near the Nisqually River Bridge
  • 4:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 14-15
  • Southbound I-5 reduced to two lanes near the Nisqually River Bridge

Drivers are encouraged to consider travel later in the day or after the work hours.

Cleaning the bridges improves the efficiency of WSDOT’s bridge inspection program and helps keep each bridge in good working order.
