Overview
Repaired and paved I-5 ramps at Corson, Michigan and Swift-Albro, between Spokane Street and Boeing Access Road in Seattle.  Fixed rutted and cracked shoulders, lanes and bridge decks; replaced damaged concrete panels on southbound I-5; replaced traffic signals; and improved guardrail.

WSDOT originally planned to complete the project in the 2004 but had to extend the project into the 2005 construction season because the amount of deck repair was greater than anticipated and because the striping could not be completed because of weather.

How You Benefit
Cross GlyphImproves Safety
Paving the ramps and replacing the concrete panels gives drivers a smoother ride with improved traction.  We improved safety by removing gutters and curbs in the shoulders and upgrading guardrail.  This work also extended the life of the aging freeway.

Partnerships & Cooperation
At WSDOT we seek to address the concerns of the tribal nations using the process outlined in Section 106 of The National Historic Preservation Act and the WSDOT Tribal Consultation Policy adopted in 2003 by the Transportation Commission as part of the WSDOT Centennial Accord Plan.

Tribal consultation resulted in a finding of non-significant impact to tribal resources.
