Expect slow going on SR 16 WB approaching the Purdy exit today. We're out doing some emergency guardrail repairs. The work has to be done ASAP for safety, otherwise we would wait for a time with lower traffic volumes. Real time travel info at wsdot.com/Travel/Real-... @piercetransit.bsky.social

Bent guardrail laying on the roadside and broken wooden posts sticking out of the ground along the center median of a divided highway during the day.

Heads up I-5 travelers! 🚨This week, 9/21-9/25, we're working overnight on southbound lanes between DuPont & Lacey. Lanes reduce: 6 pm-6 am, M-Th & 6:30 pm Fri. to 9 am Sat. More info: bit.ly/4we6ZaO Check out the work from last week on northbound! @traffic.wsdot.wa.gov @piercetransit.bsky.social

Construction workers in high-vis gear and hard hats pour a new concrete panel on I-5, smoothing the surface with a variety of tools. Bright lights are set around the work zone as a semi-truck passes by the open lane behind them.

A completed concrete panel needs to time to cure, so construction barrels remain in place until the following morning.
