The Washington State Department of Transportation has scheduled the next viaduct inspection closure for Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 24 and 25, which unlike past inspections, will be closed to the public.

A public tour will not be possible during the October inspection, due to limited daylight hours to complete the necessary maintenance and the decision to reopen the viaduct earlier than normal to accommodate traffic for the Oct. 24 Sounders game, according to the state transportation department.

According to a release from the state, it will continue to "keep a close eye" on the viaduct's condition to ensure it remains safe for drivers.

Both decks of the Alaskan Way Viaduct will be closed between Spokane Street in the south through the Battery Street Tunnel in the north. The closure is scheduled from: 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25
