In this update:
We will close a section of Lake Washington Boulevard for 17 days, starting at 10 p.m. Friday, June 17. During the closure, Montlake Project crews will install drainage and conduct electrical work.
 Traffic exiting westbound SR 520 to Lake Washington Boulevard won’t be able to turn east; drivers will detour west to Montlake Boulevard and then south to Boyer Avenue East. Lake Washington Boulevard and the on-ramp to eastbound SR 520 are scheduled to reopen at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, July 3.
 Eastbound SR 520 will be closed overnight Tuesday, June 14, so crews can pour concrete for a new eastbound SR 520 bridge over Union Bay. The highway’s eastbound lanes will be closed from I-5 to 92nd Avenue Northeast on the Eastside between 11 p.m. Tuesday and 5 a.m. Wednesday.
 Join us Wednesday, June 15 to learn about what to expect this summer on the Montlake Project. Upcoming milestones include the permanent closure of the Lake Washington Boulevard on-ramp to eastbound SR 520. Register below to attend and participate in a Q&A.

Major construction on the Portage Bay Bridge and Roanoke Lid Project is set to begin in 2024 and will last approximately six years. We’ve launched an online open house, open from June 3 to Aug. 5, for the community to learn more about what to expect during construction.
Topics covered include:
- Project timeline
- Noise
- Vibration
- Dust and light
- Traffic
- Upcoming public involvement activities
We hope you’ll “stop by” for a visit.
Do you have traffic or mobility concerns in your neighborhood?
Our Portage Bay construction will cause some disruption for drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders traveling through the Portage Bay area. WSDOT and the city of Seattle are currently collaborating to develop a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan (NTMP) to identify potential traffic management measures on local streets before construction begins. Is there a specific location or intersection that could benefit from traffic management solutions before, during or after SR 520 construction? Please share those with us via our online neighborhood traffic survey and/or register for our Aug. 4 NTMP public meeting.
