Westbound 520 Closures Planned for Weeknights Through Mid-October

The 520 bridge (heading to Seattle) will be closed on certain Tuesday and Thursday nights through Oct. 17.

Drivers who use SR 520 to reach Seattle should plan ahead for overnight closures of the floating bridge and highway on designated Tuesday and Thursday nights during the rest of September and into October, according to the Washington Department of Transportation.

The first in the series of night-time closures of the westbound SR 520 lanes started Thursday, Sept. 19. Westbound lanes will close from 92nd Avenue Northeast in Bellevue to Montlake Boulevard in Seattle. The overnight closures will ensure continued progress on the SR 520 bridge replacement, while keeping the highway open during the busy weekday commute and for weekend travel to cultural and sporting events.
