Weekend Traffic Report: Lane Closures, Kenny Chesney, Baseball

SEATTLE, WA - It's another summer weekend in Puget Sound, and that means construction, baseball, and other large events. The weekend of July 6 doesn't look so bad (and Pierce County gets off easy this weekend, except for the usual Tacoma slog), but there are still a number of issues you should be aware of.

Here's what's going on traffic-wise this weekend, according to WSDOT:

Construction and closures

• There will be lane reductions along I-90 eastbound and westbound all weekend. Eastbound lane closures span North Bend to Snoqualmie Pass. The westbound lanes will reduce between Denny Creek and Snoqualmie Pass.
• SR 522 between Paradise Lake Road and the Snohomish River Bridge will be closed overnight each day this weekend for construction work - but the closures are weather-dependent.
• The I-5 Ship Canal Bridge southbound will go down to two lanes from 2 to 10 a.m. Sunday. The 45th Street on-ramp to I-5 will close during that time.

Big weekend events

• Mariners: games start 7:10 p.m. Friday and 1:10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
• Seattle Reign: facing Houston on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Memorial Stadium near the Seattle Center.
• Seattle Storm: facing off against the Washington Mystics Sunday at 4 p.m. at KeyArena.
