There didn appear to be enough funding to rebuild the SR 520 Bridge even with RTID’s contribution. How will the project get completed?
Regional funds would have helped pay for increased capacity of existing facilities, including building a new six lane 520 bridge, with HOV lanes in each direction and the connections to I-405 and I-5. The State legislature and governor would have reviewed additional policy options for the state’s share of the funding for the SR 520 bridge and the road improvements. None of these funds would have been expended until the mediated process for the design of the new corridor was completed and a final financing plan was developed.
