Multiple highway closures begin in Tacoma this week as WSDOT performs maintenance work. Starting Sunday, Aug. 2, westbound SR 532 between 102nd Avenue and 104th Drive will shift lanes for paving from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday. The southbound I-5 will see nightly lane closures from Aug. 3 to 6, with three lanes closed nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., plus the Silver Lake weigh station closing on Aug. 3.
