Big SR 18 Lane Change Begins With Full Closure Tuesday
The full westbound SR 18 closure begins Tuesday night after the evening rush hour.
ISSAQUAH, WA — The westbound lanes of SR 18 will close beginning Tuesday night as part of an ongoing WSDOT construction project along a bridge south of Tiger Mountain. This is the first of eight such closures scheduled for this summer.
Tuesday's closure will begin at 10 p.m. near the Issaquah-Hobart Road overpass, and will end at 5 a.m. Wednesday. Westbound drivers will use the Issaquah-Hobart Road on and off-ramps to get around the closure.
When the westbound lanes reopen, only the right lane across the Issaquah-Hobart Road bridge will be open instead of two. That configuration will last until July.

WSDOT crews will be repaving the bridge and repairing other parts of it. This first closure will allows crews to move jersey barriers safely.
