These sections of State Route 522, commonly known as Lake City Way or Northeast Bothell Way, were last paved in 2002. Asphalt is generally only intended to last 15 years. With nearly 40,000 vehicles using this portion of the highway each day, the aging asphalt is cracked and needs to be replaced. Improving the highway surface removes cracks and wheel ruts where water can collect. It also eliminates potholes and helps prevent new ones from forming, providing travelers a safer, smoother ride.
Beginning in summer 2020, WSDOT contractor crews will repave the following areas on SR 522:
In addition, WSDOT is working with the Seattle Department of Transportation to make pedestrian improvements at four locations along the highway, including new crosswalks and crossing signals, new sidewalks and improved curb ramps to provide better sidewalk connections for people of all abilities.
Most of this work will take place at night and will require lane reductions, which could create delays for late-night travelers. Some daytime work also could include lane reductions, but will be scheduled to avoid peak hour, peak direction traffic. WSDOT and SDOT will work with the contractor to maintain access to businesses and residences at all times.
The estimated project cost is $15 million.
