On Monday, Aug. 12, the Bothell Crossroads project will shift traffic to the new State Route 522 roadway alignment.

Major portions of SR 522 will be closed starting at 9 p.m. on Aug. 9 until 5 a.m. on Aug. 12 to prepare for the shift. During this time, SR 522 will only have one lane open in each direction from Hall Road to Kaysner Way. Southbound traffic on Northeast 180th Street will be detoured to 98th Avenue Northeast or Bothell Way Northeast. Business access will be available during the closures.

Crossroads detours

Traffic will switch to the new roadway at 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12.

Then, in order to complete side street connections to the newly constructed portion of SR 522, the following detours will be in place for approximately two months:

• Southbound traffic on Bothell Way Northeast (SR 527) will not be allowed to turn left onto Main Street. Drivers should use Northeast 185th Street to 101st Avenue Northeast to Main Street.

• Left-hand turns from Main Street onto southbound Bothell Way Northeast (SR 527) will not be allowed. Drivers detoured onto northbound Bothell Way Northeast to Northeast 185th Street to 104th Avenue Northeast to Kaysner Way to access SR 522 in either the east or west bound direction.

• Northbound traffic on 102nd Ave Northeast should use Kaysner Way to access SR 522 in either the east or west bound direction.

Learn about what you can expect once the new roadway opens to traffic on Aug. 12, and the construction impacts that will continue over the next several months. The Crossroads project is scheduled for final completion in March 2014.
