WSDOT provides I-405/SR 167 program updates via virtual meeting with executive advisory group

Public invited to online Sept. 14 meeting

BELLEVUE – The public is invited to attend a meeting with the Interstate 405/State Route 167 Corridor Program Executive Advisory Group Thursday, Sept. 14, to hear updates on work occurring across the 50-plus mile corridor.

The Washington State Department of Transportation’s I-405/SR 167 Corridor Program includes coordinated projects that advance the state’s vision for a multimodal corridor system to move more people reliably through express toll lanes, bus rapid transit, general purpose lanes and trails.

During the advisory group’s meeting, Secretary of Transportation Roger Millar and the program team will provide project updates, discuss financial considerations and review other important program-related information.  

The I-405/SR 167 Executive Advisory Group was created to guide WSDOT in developing and implementing the I-405 Master Plan and the SR 167 Master Plan. The group is comprised of transportation agency representatives and elected leaders along I-405 and SR 167.

Slow down – lives are on the line. 

In 2023, speeding continued to be a top reason for work zone crashes.

Even one life lost is too many.

Fatal work zone crashes doubled in 2023 - Washington had 10 fatal work zone crashes on state roads.

It's in EVERYONE’S best interest.

95% of people hurt in work zones are drivers, their passengers or passing pedestrians, not just our road crews.
