Major construction on the I-5 rebuild near Joint Base Lewis-McChord is nearly complete, according to Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) officials. The project's final major phase concluded this weekend.

WSDOT stated the I-5 rebuild near JBLM is almost finished, with only minor work remaining. The project included resurfacing, bridge repairs, and traffic management improvements.

The completion of this work means drivers will see fewer construction delays on I-5 near the military base. The project began in 2023 and cost $42 million. The next phase of I-5 improvements will focus on the Tacoma area.
