The N 145th Street Corridor/I-5 Interchange Project will result in the closure of 1st Ave NE south of the N 145th St intersection starting February 19, 2025, impacting local traffic patterns. This long-term closure is essential for completing critical construction work aimed at enhancing infrastructure in the area. While through traffic will not be permitted, local access will still be granted, allowing residents to navigate their neighborhoods. Construction will involve various activities, including wall construction, intersection enhancements, and sewer and storm system installations, all vital for improving regional connectivity. The closure is expected to last until April 30, 2025, though the timeline may change depending on construction progress.

Residents are encouraged to follow posted signage and to proceed with caution in the construction zone. For updates and inquiries, a dedicated email and a 24-hour construction hotline are available to the public. Staying informed is crucial as these improvements are designed to benefit the community in the long run.
