Representatives from contractor Kiewit/General/Manson (KGM) and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will hold an open house from 4:30-7:30 p.m. tonight at Kenmore City Hall to discuss the construction of bridge components being built in Kenmore for the new State Route 520 floating bridge. The public is welcome.

WSDOT’s SR 520 Floating Bridge and Landings Project will be featured, along with construction timelines and information for the public to stay updated about construction of the new floating bridge — slated to be complete by the end of 2014.

KGM will use a portion of the LakePointe property (at 6525 N.E. 175th St.) as a supplemental construction yard, with site preparation and maintenance, component construction and barge transportation to the SR 520 bridge.

“This means 50 family-wage jobs for Kenmore and sales-tax revenue for the city,” Mayor David Baker said. “It also means cleaning up that site, making it better tomorrow than it is today.”

The 44.1-acre site is owned by Gary Sergeant of Pioneer Towing; approximately 14 acres would be used for the project and KGM anticipates spending $25 million on operations at the Kenmore site, according to city documents.

Information about the project is available on the city’s Web site, www.kenmorewa.gov.
