LGS Reassurer over the freeway. Traffic will go under a tunnel underneath the city before popping out onto the floating bridge to Mercer Island. In this process, the eastbound expressways lanes will separate from each other, albeit temporarily.

Stay in any lane for I-90 east. Not sure why this sign is necessary in a tunnel.

Use the right lane for I-405 north and south, as they will exit at the same time. Exit left for HOV traffic to I-405.
