A worker with the Washington State Department of Transportation, is nearly struck by a pickup driver that disregarded warning signs and traffic cones closing the northbound turn lane on 28th Avenue and drove west onto Lewis Street.

The female driver pulled partially into the oncoming turn lane and her passenger shouted at the worker, then continued on the closed lanes of the ramp to the blue bridge.

The ramp and right southbound lane close again Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for the cleaning project. Expect more delays and lane restrictions when the opposite right lane closes Thursday and Friday.
