520 closed this weekend

[David Price]

The 520 bridge will be closed for maintenance this weekend. If you normally use the 520 bridge I would suggest planning an alternate route.

[Kenneth Ashland]

w00t for Metro!

No major delays/changes on Routes from the Eastside to Seattle, for any/all coming from that direction.

[Caitlin]

Shit. Um can anyone tell me the easiest way to get to the campus via another direction? I'm coming from Bellevue and only know how to go the 520 way.

[Webmonkey]

Ah, well it is time for me to figure out how to use that new geographic location to it's benefit and get on ye olde I-5.

[Shakir Movre']

Being an EastSider...

The easiest way to get to game from the Bellevue, Issaquah, Redmond et al is as follows.

I-90 west
I-5 north
Take the 45th street exit go right
East on 45th to 15th go right
South on 15th till you see the parking garage
Enter it

Any further help - give me a call 206 396-5251

I blame the demon summoning. Apparently real life vampires are a year late in their plots.

Exactly like what the Kindred did for the demon plot...

Funny, Joe usually takes Lake City to Seattle when he can't use the bridge.

SR 520 CLOSURE SCHEDULE

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: www.wsdot.wa.gov/Regions/NorthWest/News/2005/JUL5_520.htm

Weekend Closure for SR 520 Evergreen Point Floating Bridge
Date: Tuesday, July 05, 2005
Contact: Maureen Sullivan, SR 520 Bridge Project Director [phone] (Seattle)
Jon Higgins, SR 520 Bridge Project Communications [phone] (Seattle)


SEATTLE - WSDOT crews will close the SR 520 floating bridge for its annual maintenance and inspection work this weekend. The bridge will close at 11 p.m. Friday, July 8 through 5 a.m. Monday, July 11. The closure includes all of SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard NE in Seattle and 92nd Avenue NE on the Eastside. Drivers crossing Lake Washington should use I-90, I-405, and SR 522.

WSDOT recommends drivers know before they go. Drivers can call the 511driver information line or check traffic flow maps at www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle before leaving.

WSDOT crews will perform a variety of jobs during this three-day closure. Bridge crews will use ultrasound to check for cracks in the structure, repair deck damage, check expansion joints and do electrical work. WSDOT maintenance crews will re-stripe lanes, replace traffic markers between lanes and replace the glare screens. Survey crews will also be doing preparatory survey work for the design of the new SR 520 bridge.

Like the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the SR 520 facility is vulnerable to earthquakes, but also has a unique susceptibility to windstorms and waves. Today the SR 520 Evergreen Point Bridge is reaching the end of its useful life.

The Washington State Legislature recently passed the Transportation Partnership bill, signed by Governor Gregoire that earmarks $500 million for the SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Project. Future tolls will add an additional $700 million to that amount. Regional funding is still needed to fund the replacement. For more information visit the project Web site at www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/SR520Bridge .

I supposes it's silly to point out that it's annual maintenence.

[Lady Dagger Rose]

405 is going to be a bitch tonight between 520 and 90.....I can see it now. I would suggest that people take 405 NORTH and to Woodenville, 522 west to I-5, then come south.

Just a suggestion, since i'm on this side of the water and don't have to deal with the traffic.
