The goal of the SR 519 Intermodal Access Project team is to increase safety and mobility by improving connections between I-5, I-90 and the Seattle waterfront. WSDOT will make improvements to enhance safety for vehicles and pedestrians as they travel to events, work and neighborhood destinations. Proposed improvements will benefit all modes of travel from freight vehicles at the Port of Seattle’s terminals to ferry riders going to Colman Dock.

The SR 519 project area is located on South Atlantic Street and South Royal Brougham Way between First Avenue South and I-5 near Qwest Field and Safeco Field.
