After I-5 backups last week, WSDOT plans weekend work in Everett
EVERETT — With hourslong delays fresh in commuters’ minds from last week’s emergency road work on I-5 in Everett, more holdups are ahead this weekend.
Crews contracted by the Washington State Department of Transportation are scheduled this weekend to resume concrete panel replacement that started last fall. Only one lane of northbound I-5 will be open between 10 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday.

Crews had cut that pavement panel ahead of replacing it late last year, but winter weather kept them from that last step, WSDOT spokesperson Kurt Batdorf said. Without the structural integrity, it came up, he said.
“It was kind of an oversight on our part for not catching that,” Batdorf said. ”There wasn’t anything holding the panel in anymore.”
