+ WSDOT: Northbound Marvin Road: Temporary changes will require extra travel time
“Northbound Marvin Road(State Route 510) travelers in Lacey are encouraged to plan ahead to help prevent delays as crews continue to transform the existing overpass into a diverging diamond interchange.
“During the evening of Thursday, July 9, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will remove the existing restrictions for southbound traffic. In the northbound direction, the right lane will be open for through traffic, and the left lane will become a left-turn only to southbound I-5.
“This temporary change, which could extend up to 24 days depending on the weather, will create congestion and delays for northbound travelers.” Travelers can expect heavier-than-normal traffic, especially during the afternoon commute.
