This project will replace the State Route 525 bridge overcrossing the BNSF railroad in the city of Mukilteo. The new bridge will include active transportation improvements to improve safety for all travelers and increase connectivity between Old Town Mukilteo and the waterfront, including the new…

In fall 2023, we added 4 feet of width to a sidewalk along northbound State Route 525/Mukilteo Speedway in Mukilteo to make it 7.5 feet wide on a bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks. We also added new ADA-compliant curb ramps and upgraded the railing between Second and First streets.

This project will repave, with Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), and construct Americans with Disability Act (ADA) upgrades on State Route 525 from the SR 525 Spur Vic to Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. This project is subject to WSDOT’s Complete Streets requirements. Additionally, the paving project was awarded a $…

This connectivity project improved the pedestrian access route on State Route 525 in Clinton from the Park & Ride at Deer Lake Road (milepost 8.9) to the Washington State Ferries — Clinton Ferry Terminal (milepost 8.5).

Project improvements included the sidewalk, crosswalks,…

Crews working for WSDOT will pave roughly two miles in both directions of State Route 525 from the Interstate 405 interchange to just south of 148th Street Southwest, as well as, eight ramps. The two bridges over Alderwood Mall Parkway and Maple Road will not be paved. Once contractor crews finish…

Our contractor crews strengthened four bridges along State Route 526 in Everett so they can better withstand a major earthquake. They wraped steel “jackets” around the columns that support the bridges to hold the concrete together in an earthquake, reducing the chance of collapse. They also added…

Portions of the State Route 526 corridor will be improved with construction of an eastbound lane between Hardeson Road/5th Ave NW and I-5, improved signal operations at the SR 526/527 intersection and new ramp meters from eastbound SR 526 to northbound I-5. Work includes roadway widening in…

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…

As part of the state's fish recovery efforts, WSDOT has made it a priority to reconnect waterways where our roads act as barriers. In western Washington, that means building hundreds of fish passable structures under state highways in the next decade to create habitat gain essential for…

Contractor crews working for WSDOT will paint the southbound SR 529 Steamboat Slough Bridge between Marysville and Everett, which has deteriorated due to weathering. This project will replace the paint to preserve the existing structural integrity and extend the service life of the bridge.

Corrosion from weather is damaging the Snohomish River Bridge and Steamboat Slough Bridge. Beginning in 2023, crews working for WSDOT have been rehabilitating the northbound SR 529 Snohomish River Bridge between Everett and Marysville by repairing or replacing steel truss elements, substructure…

WSDOT built two compact roundabouts on SR 530 at the intersections of 59th Avenue Northeast and 211th Place Northeast, just west of Arlington. These compact roundabouts reduce the risk of serious collisions at these intersections as drivers will no longer have to make turns across lanes of fast-…
