Big Changes Coming to SR 520

January 5th, 2010 at Tue, 5th, 2010 at 5:05 pm by John Marchione

If you regularly drive SR 520 in Redmond, be prepared for changes in the way you enter the freeway. Starting on Wednesday Jan. 6, drivers headed from eastbound SR 202 to westbound SR 520 will access the freeway from a newly built on-ramp.

The new ramp is part of the project to widen SR 520 between SR 202 and West Lake Sammamish Parkway. Before the new ramp opens, crews will need to close multiple ramps tonight in order to stripe, install guardrail and other signs. Please visit the construction update report for specifics about the closures.

John Marchione John has served as Mayor of Redmond since January 2008. Prior to that, John spent four years on the Redmond City Council. John’s family moved to Redmond when he was four. Since then, John has called Redmond his home.
