Saturday: 9 p.m. 

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) announces the early opening of the I-5 on- and off-ramps at Mercer Street that were closed for work on the Mercer Corridor Project. The northbound I-5 on-ramp at University Street and Fairview Avenue N between Mercer Street and Valley Street are also open at this time.

The early opening of the ramps is a result of crews efficiently completing underground electrical installations, foundation installations for future signs and lighting features, and other work in and around the intersection of Mercer Street and Fairview Avenue N.
