Drivers should expect a faster, safer afternoon commute
BOTHELL – Crews early this morning removed the last orange construction barrel on I-405 standing in the way of a new 1.8 mile-long northbound lane near Bothell – a welcome relief for commuters. A $19.3 million construction project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act built a new lane that eliminates a chronic afternoon chokepoint between NE 195th Street and SR 527, the location of a popular park and ride.
