WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Road repairs and fish passage work may cause slowdowns on your commute this week.

WSDOT said that the right lane of I-5 northbound will be closed near W Smith Road in Ferndale starting at 8 p.m. Monday, July 27.

Crews will be repairing road sensors and should have work wrapped up by 3 a.m. Tuesday, July 28.

Further south, Highway 9 is down to one lane today through Thursday near Kalloch Road north of Sedro-Woolley. The roadway will again be reduced to a single lane next Monday, Aug. 3 for 42 straight days to complete fish passage work.
