Traffic Alert: 520 Bridge Set to Close This Weekend

The highway will be closed from I-405 to Montlake Boulevard on April 19-22.

Mark your calendars and plan your routes—the State Route 520 Bridge will be closed from April 19 to 22 for construction, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Crews plan to install new roadway lighting and drainage near 84th Avenue Northeast as well as add paving near Evergreen Point Road and on the new Evergreen lid. The eastbound lanes will be moved to their final alignment south of the existing lanes.

During the closure, drivers will have to find another way across or around Lake Washington from 11 p.m. Friday, April 19, until 5 a.m. Monday, April 22. All lanes and ramps will be closed between Montlake Boulevard in Seattle and Interstate 405 in Bellevue.
