The Washington State Department of Transportation notified the City of Tacoma today that the attenuator – a safety device designed to absorb the kinetic energy of a vehicle during a collision – on the northbound I-705 Schuster Parkway/Stadium Way off-ramps was damaged and requires immediate repair.
To ensure the safety of work crews and the traveling public, the northbound Stadium Way off-ramp will be closed to traffic beginning at approximately 9:30 a.m. on February 26. The work is expected to take approximately two hours to complete.
