Overview
We repaved a four-mile stretch of southbound I-5 between the Snohomish River bridge and Ebey Slough bridge in Everett, upgrading striping and guardrail, and improving drainage on the Ebey Slough bridge. Additionally, we installed Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements along five miles of I-5. We installed six new traffic cameras and updated signs and overhead sign illumination along I-5 and part of SR 529.

 | Improves Safety
Improved drainage on the Ebey Slough bridge will reduce standing water in the lanes and improve safety for drivers.
New reflective lane markings will improve visibility for drivers, especially during adverse weather.

 | Relieves Congestion
New cameras and traffic data loops will provide real-time traffic and incident information to the Seattle Traffic map.
ITS investments will help WSDOT manage congestion and collisions to keep traffic flowing smoothly.
