Project Facts
- Approximately 31,000 vehicles travel on SR 900 at this location on a daily basis.
- Approximately 8,500 vehicles use the northbound I-5 collector distributor lane at S. Boeing Access Road each day.
- Heavy traffic and an aging roadway are the two primary factors contributing to the deteriorating pavement.
September 2008
- Crews have begun pavement repairs on SR 900.
- See a weekly construction closure update.
The pavement on SR 900 between S. Boeing Access Road and I-5 is deteriorating and in need of repair. To extend the life of the roadway, we will remove concrete panels and repave on both SR 900 and the adjacent northbound I-5 collector distributor lane.
Why is WSDOT
repairing pavement on SR 900 and the northbound collector distributor lane on I-5?
The concrete on this portion of SR 900 and the northbound I-5 collector distributor lane is in need of repair or replacement. Heavy truck and vehicle traffic has resulted in extensive cracking and rutting. Due to its age and heavy use, the damaged concrete creates a rough driving surface.
The End Result
When this project is complete, drivers will have a smoother and longer lasting driving surface with improved traction, as well as improved lighting and signs.
Project Benefits
- Safety. The new, smoother road surface will improve driver safety by improving traction and eliminating holes or cracks in the roadway. Updated lighting and signs will also enhance safety by helping drivers navigate the roadway more efficiently.
What is the project timeline?
- March 2008 - This project will be advertised to contractors
- May 2008 - Construction begins
- September 2008 - Construction is complete

Environmental Protection
WSDOT will make every effort to assess and avoid or minimize environmental impacts from our projects. The project team will take advantage of design opportunities to better manage stormwater runoff.
A detailed analysis of the project's environmental impacts will be presented in an initial environmental document and, when necessary, an appropriate plan for mitigation of impacts will be developed and documented as part of the Environmental Documentation and Environmental Permitting processes.

Increasing safety is one of our priorities
The new, smooth driving surface will eliminate rutting and cracks and improve traction and driver safety. Replacing the concrete panels will reduce the chance of the pavement breaking apart.
Will this project impact tribal resources?
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.
