I-5 and SR 9 road closures and lane reductions begin this week for fish passage construction and paving projects in Whatcom County. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced multiple closures on I-5 and SR 9 starting September 8 through September 10. Northbound and southbound I-5 will use two-lane bypass roads near Chuckanut Creek through October. Single-lane reductions on I-5 and SR 9 will occur nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. and during daytime hours on specific dates for fish passage construction and paving work. WSDOT states the I-5 fish passage project aims to install new fish passable structures. The SR 9 paving project includes repaving sections of SR 9 and SR 547.
