Headed to Seattle this weekend? Choose your route carefully.
From 11 p.m. tonight to 5 a.m. Monday, the state Department of Transportation says westbound Interstate 90 will be reduced to a single lane near Bellevue Way Southeast, and traffic will be rerouted to the express lanes.
Also, drivers wanting to access Mercer Island while traveling westbound on I-90 will need to exit at East Mercer Way. There are no westbound exits to Mercer Island from the express lanes. And once across Lake Washington, drivers will be unable to exit to Rainier Avenue South. They should follow a signed detour using 4th Avenue South and eastbound I-90.
