On Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021, due to roadway settlement caused by heavy rainfall, both directions of State Route 401 (also known as the Lewis and Clark Trail Highway) between the Astoria-Megler Bridge and Naselle were closed.

In spring 2021, emergency contractor crews were able to…

This project will replace the concrete bridge deck, sidewalk, barrier, and handrail to extend the service life of the bridge and improve safety. The city will also use this opportunity to replace or upgrade city owned utilities on the bridge.

Located in Longview, WA, the intersections of SR 432 (Industrial Way) and SR 433 (Oregon Way) are critical connections of statewide significance that supports passenger and freight traffic in southwest Washington.

Currently three rail lines cross with traffic at these intersections…

Crash data over a five-year timeframe between 2013 to 2017 showed most of the crashes occurring along this stretch of highway were rear-end or at-angle crashes. We are beginning work to design a compact roundabout to help improve safety and travel efficiency at the intersection.

We are in the beginning phase of identifying the best way to restore the north/south connection across State Route 500 at the Northeast 54th Avenue/Northeast Stapleton intersection, for people who walk, bike or roll across the highway.

The purpose of this project is to improve safety on SR 500 along the curves at Northeast Robinson Road and Northeast 3rd Street. There is a history of intersection related crashes and run off the road crashes at these two locations.

Currently, oversized freight traffic must divert from this section of Mill Plain Boulevard (SR 501) onto city streets due to high points in the roadway and limited overhead clearances. Corridor modifications will increase safety along the corridor for all modes of transportation. Improvements will…

This project will improve safety at the intersection of SR 503 and NE Rock Creek Road by installing a compact roundabout.

The SR 509 Completion Project in King County is part of the Puget Sound Gateway Program, which also includes the SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County. Together, these projects complete two of the Puget Sound region’s most critical freight corridors and improve access to I-5, the ports of…

Crews will build the 3 remaining miles of SR 510 between Cullens Road and 170th Street Southeast in Yelm. The new connection, like the previously built Phase 1, is proposed to be a two-lane highway with bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

In 2021, contractor crews working for WSDOT replaced the more than 20-year-old worn grid deck on the Montlake Bridge. They also made expansion joint and mechanical repairs so the movable span can continue to operate reliably and meet the growing multimodal traffic demands of northeast Seattle. In…

At just 2 feet in diameter and built from clay, the culvert that carries Barnes Creek under SR 516 near Des Moines is a barrier for fish trying to swim upstream and is in danger of failing. This project will replace the small clay culvert with a new structure that is 20 feet wide and 9 feet tall,…

With this Connecting Washington project, we will relocate the existing eastbound SR 520 ramp to south 148th Avenue Northeast in Redmond and add a new eastbound ramp to the Overlake Village area.

The SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program enhances travel safety and mobility with modern, structurally stronger bridges, as well as substantial transit and roadway improvements along this urban corridor. Built in stages, the improvements extend from I-405 in Bellevue to I-5 in Seattle.

This project added bus/carpool lanes in both directions between 108th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue and Lake Washington’s eastern shore. The project also built three landscaped, community-connecting highway lids over the highway, two transit stations in the highway median and the first leg of a…

We replaced the world's longest floating bridge – a four-lane, 1960s-era structure – with a safer, six-lane bridge designed to withstand stronger windstorms and waves. Opened in April 2016, the new bridge also added shoulders for disabled vehicles and a separated, 14-foot-wide path for…

The SR 520/I-5 Express Lanes Connection Project will create a dedicated reversible transit and carpool connection between SR 520 and the I-5 express lanes, along with a reversible transit/carpool ramp at the I-5/Mercer Street interchange.

The Montlake Project will improve transportation for both motorized and nonmotorized travel along the corridor with a new SR 520 eastbound bridge over Union Bay. This project also builds a new, three-acre lid covering the highway in Montlake that will include regional transit stops and open green…

The SR 520 floating bridge is supported and stabilized by 77 concrete pontoons . The Pontoon Construction Project built a casting basin and 33 of the bridge’s pontoons in Aberdeen, Washington. We built 44 of the bridge’s smaller pontoons in Tacoma, Washington, as part of the Floating Bridge and…

The Portage Bay Bridge and Roanoke Lid Project will replace the aging Portage Bay Bridge with a seismically resilient structure that includes improved bus/carpool travel and an extension of the SR 520 Trail. This project also builds a landscaped lid between Seattle’s Roanoke Park and North Capitol…

The West Approach Bridge North Project extended SR 520’s three westbound lanes, including a transit/HOV lane, from the new floating bridge to Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood. It also expanded the new SR 520 Trail across Lake Washington to Seattle.

We are examining solutions to reduce congestion at the I-405/SR 520 interchange. Currently, over half the trips from westbound SR 520 are traveling to the Bellevue vicinity. A new project will allow westbound drivers the option to access the downtown Bellevue vicinity by exiting SR 520 onto 124th…

WSDOT contractor crews will repave sections of SR 522, commonly known as Lake City Way or Northeast Bothell Way, which were last paved in 2002.

SR 522 in Snohomish County is an increasingly important north-south route connecting communities between Woodinville and Monroe. One section between Paradise Lake Road in Maltby and the Snohomish River remains one-lane in each direction. We plan to widen the highway to two lanes in each direction,…

This connectivity project will improve the pedestrian access route on State Route 525 in Clinton from the Park & Ride at Deer Lake Road (milepost 8.96) to the Washington State Ferries — Clinton Ferry Terminal (milepost 8.51).

Plans call for new sections of sidewalk, crosswalks,…

Portions of the State Route 526 corridor will be improved with construction of an eastbound lane between Seaway Boulevard and I-5, improved signal operations at the SR 526/527 intersection and new ramp meters from eastbound SR 526 to northbound I-5.

As part of WSDOT’s fish passage program, we will build a 26-foot fish-passable structure under SR 527 just south of 164th Street Southeast in Mill Creek. The current 9-foot culvert causes water to flow too fast for fish to continue upstream. The new bridge span will open more than 8 miles of…

This section of SR 531 between 43rd Avenue Northeast and 67th Avenue Northeast in Arlington will be widened to add a second lane in each direction. In addition, roundabouts will be added at four intersections to improve safety, travel times and reduce congestion.

This project provides for the improvement of Logan Creek fish passage along SR 538 in Mount Vernon located in Skagit County by replacing the existing culvert with a new buried fish passage structure.

This project will remove the existing barrier where an Unnamed Tributary to Fourmile Creek crosses under State Route 544 at milepost 3.51, just west of Noon Road. This location is about two miles west of Everson and 3.5 miles south of Lynden in Whatcom County.
