The boating season starts Saturday and that means drivers should expect delays near the west side of Lake Washington that day.

The westbound SR 520 ramp to Montlake Boulevard will be closed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as will the left turn lane of the eastbound SR 520 ramp to northbound Montlake Boulevard.

During the closure, nearly 900 boats will parade through the Montlake Cut as part of the opening ceremonies that signal the opening day of boating season.

Drivers can check the real-time traffic cameras before they leave to check congestion levels in the area. .
