Traffic Revision: 108th Avenue Northeast on-ramp to westbound SR 520
Beginning Wednesday, May 30, drivers will see a change at the 108th Avenue Northeast entrance to westbound SR 520. Here are the details:
Northbound 108th Avenue Northeast to westbound SR 520:
• This access will be closed permanently.
• Drivers will instead access westbound SR 520 at Bellevue Way, via Northup Way.
Southbound 108th Avenue Northeast to westbound SR 520:
• No change.
We are making this change for construction of the new on-ramp and a fish-friendly culvert underneath 108th Avenue Northeast. When complete in late 2013, the new 108th Avenue Northeast interchange will include direct-access ramps for buses and carpools traveling in both directions on 108th Avenue Northeast.
Changes to SR 520 west of 92nd Avenue Northeast.
Effective April 30, we are closing the westbound bus-only lane between 92nd Avenue Northeast and Evergreen Point Road flyer stops. This change will be in effect until the new median transit stops and HOV lanes are opened, by December 2013.
Closing the bus-only lane in this location allows vehicles entering SR 520 at 84th Avenue Northeast to accelerate and merge more effectively. Tolling on the SR 520 floating bridge has resulted in reduced volumes in the general purpose lanes, and traffic analysis shows that moving buses into the general purpose lanes will not adversely affect bus or general purpose travel times during project construction.
We're making this change because we widened a median work zone near 84th Avenue Northeast to construct a pier wall for new overpass at that location—a change that leaves less space for mainline vehicles and vehicles entering SR 520 from the 84th Avenue Northeast on-ramp.
Westbound buses, carpools, vanpools and motorcycles are required to merge into the general purpose lanes east of the new median work zone to make room for drivers entering the highway at the 84th Avenue Northeast on-ramp.
Changes to Bellevue Way Northeast
Drivers that use Bellevue Way Northeast near SR 520 should anticipate a few changes to the interchange. Check our Bellevue Way Northeast fact sheet (pdf 630 kb) for more details.
Points Loop Trail detour
The Points Loop Trail is closed between Evergreen Point Road and 92nd Avenue Northeast for up to two years while crews construct project improvements. Bicyclists and pedestrians will be detoured to Northeast 28th Street and Northeast Points Drive.
