Project Evaluation: I-5, Ash Way Park & Ride Direct Access Bridge

Lynnwood, Snohomish County
This Sound Transit-funded project provides a new bridge over southbound I-5 and direct access ramps connecting I-5 HOV lanes and the Ash Way Park-and-Ride.  On workdays, more than 180 Community Transit and Sound Transit buses now travel above three lanes of traffic to enter and exit I-5 HOV lanes instead of merging through lanes of freeway traffic.  This means less congestion and a faster commute for both bus riders and drivers. 

This report reviews only the second phase of the project, which includes a bridge over southbound I-5 and other work not completed in the first phase.  The first phase of work, which involved a different contractor, was reviewed in the 2004 Construction Highlights Report:  www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/Highlights/2004/i5ashwayparkandridedirectaccess.htm

Design:  Construction Management:  Schedule:  Cost:  Engineer's Estimate: $ 2,296,927 Contractor's Bid Amount: $ 1,841,546 Anticipated Final Payment to Contractor (excluding items carried over from the first phase of work): $ 2,028,284

Construction Summary
During this second phase of work on the project, contract plans and design were solid.  Minor clarification was needed and none resulted in a change order.  We and our contractor, Mowat, worked as a team very successfully.  We tackled many problems with minimal impact.  Mutual cooperation and problem-solving converted this potentially problematic project into a very successful one.  This second phase of the project was completed on schedule.
