If you take Interstate 705 in Tacoma during your commute, you might want to start devising an alternate route.

Two southbound I-705 lanes are set to be removed and replaced this week with hot-mix asphalt, the city of Tacoma announced in a Sept. 5 news release. The work is expected to start Wednesday, Sept. 11, and conclude Friday, Sept. 13, and is weather-dependent.

The two affected lanes are beneath Firefighter’s Park, 801 A. St.

Southbound on-ramps at Stadium Way and Schuster Parkway will be off-limits starting 8 a.m. Wednesday until 7 p.m. Friday, according to the city. Detours will be available.

Oil settles 3% higher as Middle East war risk makes investors cautious
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Oil prices settled more than 3% higher on Monday, with Brent surpassing $80 per barrel for the first time since August as the increased risk of a region-wide Middle East war jolted investors out of record bearish positions amassed last month. Brent crude futures rose by $2.88, or 3.7%, to settle at $80.93 per barrel. Last week, Brent rose more than 8% and WTI advanced by more than 9% week-on-week, the most in more than a year, after Iran's Oct. 1 missile barrage against Israel raised concerns that the response from Israel would aim at Tehran's oil infrastructure.
