'Month of Hell' on I-5 is just the appetizer -- next two years will be brutal

We’re almost through the “Month of Hell” on I-5 through Seattle, but commuters need to realize that this was just the appetizer. The main course will be served over the next two years.

For every one of you who struggled through the lane closures on the Ship Canal Bridge and fought your way through the loss of the southbound express lanes, please pat yourselves on the back. You deserve it. This has not been easy.
