Overview
We will repave more than nine miles of northbound I-5 from 52nd Avenue W in Lynnwood to SR 526 just south of Everett, and will repave one mile of SR 525 just north of Lynnwood. We will also repave the on- and off-ramps at 44th Avenue West, SR 525, I-405 and SR 526.
Why is WSDOT
repaving sections of I-5 and SR 525 through Lynnwood?
More than 80,000 vehicles travel on northbound Interstate 5 through Lynnwood every day, and another 45,000 vehicles travel along State Route 525 each day. High traffic volumes have caused substantial wear and tear to these roadways. Repaving these routes will preserve these highways for future use and reduce the need for costly temporary repairs.
The End Result
Drivers will have a safer and smoother ride on northbound I-5 and SR 525 through Lynnwood. Drivers will also notice updated pavement markings and signing through the area.
Project Benefits
Safety - New pavement and signing will improve driver safety.
Preservation - Repaving the highway will extend the lifespan of the pavement and will reduce costly and inconvenient repairs.
