Drivers will also want to plan ahead for a full weekend closure of SR 520 planned later this month. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, the road will be closed in both directions from late Friday, Nov. 19 until early Nov. 22. During that closure, WSDOT crews will work on removing the old 24th Avenue East overpass. The weekend work will also require the Montlake Bridge to close.
