Did the Roads & Transit measure provide enough funding to replace the SR 520 bridge?
The Roads and Transit plan proposed $1.1 billion (YOE) toward funding the SR520 bridge and HOV improvements. When combined with existing state funding and federal funds and funding from potential state policy actions, such as tolls and other measures there was adequate funding to replace the bridge with a six-lane span including HOV and bike lanes. Community and environmental mitigation were included in WSDOT cost estimates and were an important element of the mediation process already underway.
