U-S-A! The captain of the Washington State Ferries M/V Puyallup leads passengers in a chant as they approach Seattle from Bremerton before today’s big game against Australia 🦅🇺🇸

Do you hear that? The chanting? M-A-P, M-A-P! D-A-D, D-A-D! U-S-A, U-S-A! Lots of cheering and a lot going on this weekend.

It’s Father’s Day weekend, which means several of this map’s residents have arrived with their offspring (peep the baby rhubarb and the baby bridge troll). Meanwhile, the World Cup is in full swing and Team USA is in Seattle this weekend, which explains the eagle, soccer ball and suspicious lack of orange on this week’s map.

While many of our major projects take a brief halftime during World Cup, we still have a few closures and openings you should know about.

Here’s what we’ve got going on:

- Sedgwick Rd/SR 160 in Kitsap County is CLOSED between Blackberry Hill Ln SE and Long Lake Rd SE through the end of October. This extended closure will allow crews to build a new bridge over Salmonberry Creek. Vehicles will use Jackson Ave SE, SE Salmonberry Rd and Long Lake Rd SE. Bicycles and pedestrians will take slightly different routes using Phillips Rd SE, SE Salmonberry Rd, Long Lake Rd SE and Lakeview Dr SE.

- SR 20 North Cascades Highway is OPEN! Crews completed repairs to washout and rockslide damage and reopened the scenic route three weeks ahead of schedule. Travelers should still watch for construction equipment leaving the area and wildlife adjusting to the return of highway traffic.

Whether you’re heading to a celebration, a dad’s day gathering, a World Cup match, a festival or simply leaving the house, check your route before you go and give yourself extra travel time.

Walter can handle pressure… his tire couldn’t.

Back in May, Mick Hedquist of our Incident Response Team stopped to check on a car with a flat tire on the shoulder of westbound I-90.

As Mick walked back to his truck, he thought he recognized the driver from somewhere. Then the driver stood up… and my-oh-my did it dawn on him.

This was his daughter’s favorite Mariner. This was Logan Gilbert, better known on game days as his ultra-competitive alter ego, Walter.

Roadside assistance was already on scene, but Mick stayed nearby to provide an extra layer of traffic safety while the tire was changed and to ensure everyone could get back on the road safely.

Knowing Gilbert is his daughter’s favorite player, Mick asked if he’d be willing to give an autograph and take a quick photo. The signed keepsake now hangs proudly in a frame at home.

Our Incident Response Team helps everyone on Washington’s highways, whether you’re driving home or taking the mound for Mariners that night. Our IRT responders are there to provide assistance, improve safety, and keep traffic moving.

And if you see IRT, emergency responders, tow trucks or roadside assistance vehicles stopped on the shoulder, remember to move over or slow down. Giving people room to work safely is one of the simplest ways you can help prevent serious crashes and injuries.

Thanks to Mick for sharing the story and to all of our IRT responders who are out there helping travelers every day. And good luck to Logan and the rest of the M’s tonight against the Orioles! We hope the road to victory is free of flat tires. But if not, we know a guy.

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Allow us to help you get acquainted with our state via this highly-accurate and mostly-to-scale map.

There’s a lot to do and see here, but having a good time means PLANNING AHEAD. That means being prepared for congestion on major routes across the state, particularly in the Seattle area on match days.

In Seattle, transit will be your best friend (or hop on a bike/scooter/skateboard/those old roller blades you’ve been meaning to dust off).

Get familiar with these accounts:

Washington State Ferries
King County Metro Transit
Sound Transit
Kitsap Transit
Pierce Transit
Community Transit
Spokane Transit
Seattle Department of Transportation
Amtrak Cascades

Locals: Even if you aren’t attending the festivities, you’ll still be impacted by the uptick in visitors. Between matches in Seattle and Vancouver and nine fan zones across the state, LOTS of people will be coming and going on the north-south and east-west routes across Washington. Take a deep breath, download our app, and plan ahead.

For a full list of resources during the matches happening June 15 through July 6, visit our website: https://engage.wsdot.wa.gov/seattle-world-championship-soccer

This includes links to our real-time travel map, our app, border crossing wait times, and links to our regional transportation partners.

HAPPY SUMMER OF SOCCER! Stay safe out there!

Note: This map has been updated from the original version to include all five explodey mountains and a few other Easter eggs that represent our state.

SR 20 NORTH CASCADES HIGHWAY IS NOW OPEN!

Our hardworking crews and contractors worked seven days a week to reopen this scenic seasonal highway three weeks ahead of our goal of the Fourth of July and five days earlier than the new timeline we forecasted last week.

Skagit County contractor Trimaxx Construction Inc. worked since May 13 to repair washout damage between mileposts 142-148. Interwest Construction Inc., also of Skagit County, stabilized a slope and cleared debris from a March rockslide at milepost 131 — that work finished May 30.

Though repairs are complete, you might still see construction equipment moving from the area over the next few days. That’s because we reopened the road the moment it was ready, but keep an eye out for crews as they finish up.

Also watch out for wildlife, as it’s been a while since they’ve seen vehicles traveling at highway speeds through the area. It’ll take them a while to get used to the North Cascaded Highway being fully open.

To locals, travelers, recreators, and SR 20 enthusiasts alike: Thanks for bearing with us while we worked to reopen this beloved highway. Happy summer, and enjoy the open road.

Removing fish passage barriers contributes to a healthier ecosystem. Since establishing a fish passage program in 1991, we have corrected hundreds of these barriers that have restored access to more than a thousand miles of fish habitat.

But our job isn’t done. And to that end, we’ll need to close two Kitsap Peninsula highways starting Saturday, June 13, for fish passage work. The details:

- SR 3 west of Gorst will CLOSE in both directions from 7 a.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Monday, June 29. Drivers can detour at Sunnyslope Road SW and SW Lake Flora Road.

- SR 160/Sedgwick Road in Kitsap County will CLOSE by 11 p.m. Saturday between Blackberry Hill Lane SE and Long Lake Road SE. Both directions will remain closed through the end of October while crews build a new bridge over Salmonberry Creek. Drivers can detour at Jackson Ave SE, SE Salmonberry Road, and Long Lake Road SE.

Salmon and steelhead are important members of our ecosystem, and they serve as a key food source for more than 100 species of wildlife, including Southern Resident Killer Whales. On top of that, they hold cultural importance to the many tribes who rely on salmon and steelhead as a food source.

And yes, we know this is one of those projects we’re doing during the World Cup, but the fish don’t know what soccer is, so...

*map madness intensifies* As you can see (gestures broadly to the crayon chaos)… we’ve got a lot going on across the state this weekend.

Although we’ve paused much of our major work for the next month during the World Cup games, we still have a few closures happening that you should be aware of (especially if you’re traveling through the Seattle area).

- All lanes of SB I-5 and one lane of NB I-5 (at Seneca St) will CLOSE under the Seattle Convention Center (from SR 520 to I-90) at 11 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday for maintenance. Heads up, the following ramps will also be closed: SB I-5 on-ramp at Mercer St, SB I-5 on-ramp at Yale Avenue/Howell St, NB I-5 on-ramp from University St. Both directions of I-5 under the Seattle Convention Center will also have a flammable cargo restriction in place for the duration of this closure.

- Both directions of SR 3 near Sunnyslope Road SW will CLOSE at 7 a.m. Saturday, June 13 to 7 a.m. Monday, June 29 for fish passage work. “Detour” you ask? Drivers will use Sunnyslope Road SW and SW Lake Flora Road. For those who walk, roll or bike, use NE Old Belfair Hwy/West Belfair Valley Road. Commercial vehicles will be routed to SR 302 and SR 16. The highway will remain open to residential and business travelers north and south of the closure, but no through traffic will be allowed.

- Sedgwick Road/SR 160 in Kitsap County will CLOSE between Blackberry Hill Lane SE and Long Lake Road SE by 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 through the end of October. This extended closure will allow crews to build a new bridge over Salmonberry Creek. Detour details: Vehicles will use Jackson Ave SE, SE Salmonberry Road and Long Lake Road SE. Bicycles and pedestrians will take slightly different routes using Phillips Road Southeast, Southeast Salmonberry Road, Long Lake Road Southeast and Lakeview Drive Southeast.

- Riding Washington State Ferries this weekend? Good news: our summer sailing schedule begins Sunday, June 14! Other news: Changes are coming to three routes. At Anacortes/San Juan Islands, we will switch from our fall-through spring timetables to our three-month peak-season schedule. We’ve made a few minor changes from last summer to help improve on-time performance. At Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth, the #3 boat will increase operations to 15 hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays. Last summer, the vessel ran only half days on weekends because of limited crew availability. At Port Townsend/Coupeville, the second boat will start operating daily through Oct. 12, which marks the end of the route’s shoulder season.

- The SR 542/Mt. Baker Hwy, or as its close friends like to call it, the Road to Artist Point, reopened Wednesday! Keep in mind there's still a lot of snow, so expect snow-covered trails, and many signs and maps may still be buried or out of view. Recreationalists should plan for limited cell service and pack water, sunglasses and sunscreen. Remember, the area is remote & emergency response times can be long. This area is still a work zone, so please treat it as such!

If you're looking at this map and thinking, "Sheesh, that looks overwhelmingly busy," just imagine heading out into the fray without a plan. Remember to check the travel maps, know your route before you go, and give yourself extra time!

What do Vanilla Ice and the SR 536 Skagit River Bridge’s coat of paint have in common? They were really fresh in 1990.

In fact, that's the last time the Skagit River Bridge was painted. But no longer! The SR 536 Skagit River Bridge is getting a fresh coat of paint for the first time since 1990.

Thirty-six years of Pacific Northwest weather and bird activity have given crews plenty to work with.

Starting June 11, contractor crews will begin a major preservation project on the bridge. Before a fresh coat of paint can go on, crews need to remove decades of old paint, rust, debris and yes, bird droppings from the structure.

This work will require a long-term closure of eastbound SR 536 across the bridge beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 11. All eastbound passenger and freight traffic will be detoured via Avon Allen Road, SR 20 and I-5.

We know this will be a significant change for people who regularly travel between West Mount Vernon and downtown Mount Vernon. The detour adds up to 10 miles for eastbound travelers and will remain in place through much of the project.

Emergency response vehicles will continue to have eastbound access across the bridge using a temporary traffic signal. Pedestrians and bicyclists will still be able to use the bridge in both directions through most of the project, and a free shuttle service will be available during full bridge closures for those walking or biking across.

Westbound traffic will remain open most of the time, though travelers should expect occasional nighttime and weekend full closures throughout construction with signed detours in place.

This project is expected to continue into early 2027 and finish before the 2027 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

While the fresh gray paint will definitely change the bridge's appearance, this project is really about protecting the steel underneath from corrosion and wear so the bridge can continue serving travelers for many years to come.

For project updates, visit the SR 536/Skagit River Bridge project page at wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/sr-536-skagit-river-bridge-painting. Real-time information is also available on the WSDOT app and statewide travel map.

We saw “Open SR 20 North Cascades Highway ahead of schedule” on their wedding registry and knew just what to get them. ❤️ That’s right, we expect to fully reopen the North Cascades Highway by Friday, June 19, about a week ahead of schedule, as long as weather conditions remain favorable.

This week, crews are repaving the damaged sections of SR 20, and then they’ll stripe those lanes, which is why we need good weather to bring this across the finish line.

We couldn’t be more grateful for our contractor and our crews. Since May 13, Sedro-Woolley’s Trimaxx Construction Inc. has worked seven days a week to repair the 6-mile stretch of SR 20 that experienced significant damage after the December floods.

Along with paving and striping, remaining work includes grinding rumble strips and areas for reflective pavement markings, grading rock on the highway shoulders, replacing guardrail, landscaping, and erosion prevention.

Note that this remains an ACTIVE WORK ZONE 24/7 between Ross Dam Trailhead and Porcupine Creek (mileposts 134 to 156). We expect this will remain an active work zone until we are ready to fully open the road. No access is permitted in this area, including for hikers, bikers or campers.

This work zone speed camera is headed east! This summer, construction on I-90 near Geiger in the Spokane area will replace broken and worn concrete. Crews will work just feet away from passing traffic behind barriers and cones.

To encourage drivers to slow down, the work zone speed camera will be on site as an added safety tool. The goal of the program is to encourage drivers to follow the speed limit in the work zone.

Enforcement will only take place when crews are working. As of now, first infraction costs nothing; the second and subsequent infractions cost $248. This will change on July 1, when the first infraction will cost $125.

We hope these cameras will have very little to do because drivers will follow the speed limit and prioritize their own safety, along with construction crews.
