Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Full I-405 closure in Renton on July 10 and July 11
If you are traveling through the Renton area on the weekend of July 10-11, you may want to rethink your route. WSDOT will fully close I-405 in both directions between SR 167 and the Maple Valley Highway (SR 169) starting at 2 a. m. Saturday, July 10 to remove the old Benson Road Bridge. All lanes will reopen by 11 a. m. Sunday, July 11th.
Drivers need to detour to get around the closure area and are encouraged to leave early and take alternate routes to their destination. Significant congestion is expected on alternate routes such as SR 167, SR 169, I-5, SR 520, and I-90. Check the WSDOT website for real-time construction updates and travel information.
During the closure, crews will remove the old Benson Road South Bridge. A new Benson Road South Bridge was built as part of WSDOT’s Renton Stage 2 project to accommodate new lanes on I-405. The closure is necessary because the traffic cannot pass underneath the bridge while crews tear it down. Crews will also use the closure time to work on other several other needed projects within the work zone.
