Timeline update for Locust Way Bridge 504 project in Bothell

Published 6:30 am Tuesday, October 11, 2016

The following is a release from Snohomish County:

Locust Way Bridge 504 was originally expected to be completed by mid-October 2016, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the bridge is scheduled to re-open in mid-to-late November 2016. The construction delay stems from production constraints of the steel pipe piling that is part of the foundation of the bridge. Crews from McClure and Sons, Inc. have been working Saturdays to make up for the lost time, but unfortunately not enough time has been recovered.

To assist in relieving traffic in the area caused by school drop-off and pick-up near the project site, Snohomish County Public Works has hired an off-duty police officer to direct traffic at the intersection of Carter Road and Lockwood Road. The police officer will continue to direct traffic during the morning and afternoon commute periods for the duration of the project, Monday through Friday.

Locust Way will remain closed between 231st Street SW and Barker Road to all vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians until the completion of the project.
