The eastbound lanes of SR 520 across Lake Washington will close for construction the weekend of Oct. 26-27. Learn more in our latest email update. For the most up-to-date information about SR 520 construction activities and planned road closures, check our SR 520 Construction Corner and its interactive construction map. You also can view Montlake Project construction photos taken daily, 'round the clock, by four mounted construction cameras.
Please join us Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the Montlake Community Center for an open house on all four SR 520 “Rest of the West” projects in Seattle. Our team will be on hand to share the latest project designs and construction plans, address participants' questions, and capture their feedback. Learn more on our News and updates page.
Crews will close SR 520’s eastbound lanes across Lake Washington during the Oct. 26-27 weekend to shift all SR 520 traffic over Union Bay onto the westbound lanes. To make room for three to four years of Montlake Project construction, we are reconfiguring the westbound lanes to accommodate two lanes of traffic in each direction. Read more about this shift in our latest email update.
Want to follow our construction progress from home? Now you can since we’ve started taking selfies, robotically, of our Montlake Project construction!
Online photos from fixed-mount cameras show the worksite from four different viewpoints. New pictures are shot and posted every 10 minutes ‘round the clock. You can browse through photos from previous days, weeks or, eventually, months to see crews' progress. Two of the cameras offer time-lapse footage, while another feature (found in a rectangular box in the lower-right corner of the screen) lets you isolate a section of the work site and track its construction progress over time, while the rest of the image remains fixed in the site's current condition.
We've opened a neighborhood drop-in office in Montlake to give the community another way to reach us regarding the SR 520 Montlake Project. Our project team is on hand to address your questions and comments about our work. Located at 2209 E. Lake Washington Blvd., the center's regular hours are Mondays and Wednesdays from noon to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to noon, and the third Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to noon.
