UPDATE- 8 a.m. Thursday, March 7: Due to rain in the forecast, the southbound SR 529 closure near Marysville has been postponed. We need dry weather in order for the concrete we're paving with to cure properly, and Mother Nature has other plans. The closure is now from 11 p.m. on Friday, March 15 through 5 a.m. on Sunday, March 17, weather-dependent.
ORIGINAL POST- 12 p.m. Tuesday, March 5: Planning a trip out of Marysville toward Everett this weekend? I-5 will be your friend. From 11 p.m. on Friday, March 8 through 5 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, all lanes of southbound SR 529 between 1st Street in Marysville and the southbound I-5 off-ramp to southbound SR 529 will be closed for construction. The southbound I-5 off-ramp to southbound SR 529 (exit 198) will remain open. If you need get to Everett via southbound SR 529, the detour is to take SR 528/Fourth Street and southbound I-5 back to southbound SR 529. There are no scheduled lane closures on I-5 through this area, so expect minor delays.
While we’re closing southbound SR 529 through this small stretch, we’ll complete more paving work on the roundabout for the I-5 - NB Marine View Drive to SR 529 - Corridor and Interchange Improvements project. Concrete needs a good amount of time to cure, which is why we need more than just an overnight closure. The new roundabout, along with two new ramps (a northbound I-5 off-ramp to SR 529 and a southbound SR 529 on-ramp to southbound I-5), and an extended northbound I-5 HOV/carpool lane between Everett and Marysville are all scheduled to open late next year.
