BURLINGTON – Congestion and collisions are a regular occurrence at the I-5, SR 11 interchange in Burlington, and engineers believe roundabouts are part of the solution. Review the Washington State Department of Transportation’s plans and contribute suggestions at a March 4 open house.
Engineers from the city and state will be available to answer questions from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 at Burlington City Hall.
On average 10,000 drivers use the interchange each day. From 2002 to 2006, there were 91 collisions in the vicinity of Chuckanut interchange. Thirty-six people were injured one person died as a result.
Also on display at the open house will be three other Burlington projects:
If you can’t make the open house, you can still get involved: write a letter, call on the phone, send an e-mail, schedule a visit to a project office, or visit project Web pages.
