BELLEVUE – The public is invited to attend a meeting with the I-405/SR 167 Corridor Program Executive Advisory Group Wednesday, May 24, to hear an update on the projects and work.

The Washington State Department of Transportation’s I-405/SR 167 Corridor Program includes more than 150 unique, coordinated multimodal projects, that enhance user experience and bring increased reliability to one of the state’s busiest corridors.

During the advisory group’s meeting, Secretary of Transportation Roger Millar and the program team will discuss project updates, regional construction coordination efforts, SR 167 Master Plan completion and other program-related information including legislative session updates.

The I-405/SR 167 Executive Advisory Group was created to guide WSDOT in the development and implementation of the I-405 Master Plan and the SR 167 Corridor 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.
