Drivers will face more delays this weekend along Interstate 5 northbound between Kent and Tukwila.

Northbound will be reduced to two lanes between State Route 516 in Kent and Southcenter Parkway in Tukwila from 10 p.m. Friday, June 23, to 5 a.m. Monday, June 26, for construction work as crews repave the lanes.

Drivers faced up to 60-minute delays last weekend between SeaTac and Tukwila, according to the state Department of Transportation. The state advises drivers to find alternate routes.
