I-405 pedestrian bridge at Northeast 80th Street in Kirkland reopens after inspection, Wednesday, July 1
KIRKLAND – The pedestrian bridge at Northeast 80th Street (milepost 17) in Kirkland has reopened Wednesday, July 1, following an emergency closure that began on June 3.
Washington State Department of Transportation bridge preservation crews reopened the bridge today following the analysis of a recent inspection. WSDOT has determined that the pedestrian bridge will need long-term repair but deemed it safe for reopening.
The Northeast 80th Street pedestrian overpass is a steel arch bridge that was built in 1970. WSDOT bridges are inspected on a two-year cycle. The last inspection of this bridge took place in June 2026.
