Traffic Alert: 520 Bridge Set to Close This Weekend

The eastbound freeway transit stop at 92nd Avenue Northeast will re-open after this weekend's work is complete.

 

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

Crews plan to transfer eastbound lanes between Evergreen Point Road and 92nd Avenue Northeast to the south, to make room for construction on the other side of the highway.

When the work is complete Monday morning, crews will re-open the eastbound freeway transit stop at 92nd Avenue Northeast. The stop has been closed since summer 2012 for 520 construction.
