Nighttime closures are planned for the left lanes of northbound and southbound Pacific Highway South over the next few weeks near the Kent Des Moines Station, 23525 30th Ave. S.

The closures began Oct. 13 and will continue for approximately three weeks from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, according to Sound Transit. The right lane closure along northbound Pacific Highway South will continue as well.

The closures accommodate the continuing roadway improvements for the Federal Way Link Extension of light between SeaTac and Federal Way. Driveway access will be maintained.

Times and dates of the lane closures are subject to change, according to Sound Transit.

Light rail is scheduled to open for service on Dec. 6.
