The new 520 floating bridge over Lake Washington is set to open in April, but the work requires some closures on the old bridge this week.

Crews will close 520 from the floating bridge to Montlake Boulevard to provide access for concrete truck deliveries.

See the 520 project list here.

Closures:

Tuesday 3/15 – The current 520 floating bridge will be closed in both directions, use I-90, 522 over the top of the lake or 405 around the bottom.

Wednesday 3/16 and Thursday 3/17 – The current 520 bridge will be closed just WB overnight.
