It's yet another weekend of major closures in the Montlake/SR 520 area. The Bill Dawson Trail between Montlake Blvd and Montlake Playfield will be closed late Friday evening (May 31) through early Monday morning (June 3) along with Lake Washington Boulevard between 520 and the Arboretum. However, walking and biking access will be open along Montlake Boulevard even while the street is closed to general traffic. The 520 Bridge Trail will also remain open even as nearby freeway ramps are closed.

So in a way, it's shaping up to be a decent weekend to bike through Montlake. But Boyer Ave E will likely be extra busy again, so be ready for that.

The Bill Dawson Trail is closed so crews can remove temporary electrical poles and begin grading the area for landscaping," according to WSDOT.

If you ever lose track of what is closed in Montlake at any time, check the 520 Construction Corner website.
