Overview
Crews will repave four miles of northbound I-5 between the Snohomish River Bridge and the Ebey Slough Bridge near Everett.
Why is WSDOT
paving this section of I-5?
The pavement on this section of I-5 is showing signs of deterioration and cracking. Repaving the roadway will end costly temporary repairs, provide drivers with a safer and smoother ride, and ensure that the roadway will last well into the future.
The End Result
We will pave four miles of northbound I-5 near Everett. We will also install new pavement markings, guardrails and drainage systems.
Project Benefits
Safety - New pavement and striping will provide a safer road surface. Improved guardrails will reduce the severity of collisions.
