In this update:
Crews will fully close westbound SR 520 (between Montlake Boulevard and I-5) around the clock from 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, to 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16.
During the closure, crews will repair expansion joints on westbound SR 520 and shift the alignment of the westbound SR 520 off-ramp to northbound I-5.
 If you have questions or concerns about this work, call our 24-hour hotline at 206-319-4520 or email SR520bridge@wsdot.wa.gov.
Crews have been hard at work installing drilled shaft casings and rebar cages for another lid foundation just south of SR 520, similar to the one in the SR 520 median. So far, crews have used an oscillator to twist nine temporary steel casings into the ground.
Crews then dig out the soil from each casing, place a rebar cage inside it and fill it with concrete. Once the concrete hardens, we’ll use the oscillator to remove the temporary casings, leaving the concrete foundation in place.
Exposed steel casings and rebar cages for the future Roanoke lid foundation.
You can find more construction photos on WSDOT's Flickr Page.
Crews will continue to close the westbound SR 520 off-ramps to northbound I-5 and East Roanoke Street most weeknights through November to dig out soil near the ramps.
The closures start at 10 p.m. each night and ramps reopen by 6 a.m. the next morning. The schedule may change as work progresses. Check our Construction Corner for the latest updates.
Currently scheduled closure nights:
- Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 12
- Monday, Nov. 16, through Thursday, Nov. 19
- Monday, Nov. 23, and Tuesday, Nov. 24
- Monday, Nov. 30, through Thursday, Dec. 3
Westbound SR 520 traffic continuing past the Montlake Boulevard and Lake Washington Boulevard exits will detour to southbound I-5. A single lane of westbound SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard and I-5 will also close.
Neighbors near the work zone will hear noise from trucks and construction equipment. If you have questions or concerns about this work, please call our 24-hour hotline at 206-319-4520, or email us at SR520bridge@wsdot.wa.gov.
