With the new State Route 520 floating bridge now open to traffic and a new West Approach Bridge North slated to open next summer, we’re gearing up for a 2018 start of construction on the next phase of SR 520 improvements in Seattle. Interested to know what is involved?

Please attend one of our open houses to find out what’s ahead for SR 520 construction between I-5 and Lake Washington – the highway segment we call “the Rest of the West.”  Our first open house is online, now through July 8, at sr520.participate.online. Just log in for overviews and design renderings of the next phase of corridor improvements in Seattle’s Montlake area.  This online “meeting” also allows you to provide feedback to WSDOT on the corridor plans.

Next week is the in-person open house

On Tuesday, June 28, we’re holding our in-person open house on the planned improvements to SR 520’s west side corridor in Seattle. Both the online and in-person open houses are focusing primarily on the first of three phases of west side construction. This next phase includes construction of:

• A landscaped lid and multimodal transit hub over SR 520 in Montlake
• A separate “land bridge” across SR 520 for bicyclists and pedestrians
• The West Approach Bridge South, which will carry eastbound Seattle traffic across Union Bay to the new floating bridge

Join us in person!

• When: 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 28
• Where: St. Demetrios Hall – 2100 Boyer Ave. E., Seattle, WA 98112
