Crews will spend up to two month repairing and repaving more than three miles of I-5 through Bellingham.

For 4 weekends in April in May I-5 will be reduced to one lane in each direction from Samish Way to Sunset Drive. They will replace 212 broken concrete panels, pave four rough ramps, and smooth 11 bumpy transitions across bridges.

It will cost $4.5 milltion to repair the section of road that was built in the 1950s. Cracked and broken panels causes a rough ride for the nearly 80,000 drivers who use it daily.

Closure Schedule

• Week-long – around the clock for two weeks in May, north of Slater Road
