I-5 and SR 9 Work Continues Near Bellingham

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Southbound I-5 near Chuckanut Creek will use a temporary bypass until 5 a.m. Friday, Sept. 18, with lane reductions starting Thursday evening. Northbound I-5 will use a temporary bypass around the clock through October for fish passage construction. Both projects are part of the I-5 Tributaries project.

SR 9 will alternate traffic over Klein Ditch bridge until further notice, with width restrictions for vehicles over 14 feet. A paving project on SR 9 between Park Road and Doran Road will cause alternating traffic from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 17. The work is part of a larger project to repave SR 9 and SR 547 in Whatcom County.
