The Washington State Transportation Department and Sound Transit are adding high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to the outer roadways (existing general purpose lanes) in both directions of I-90 between Seattle and Bellevue.
Part of this project will be preparing the center roadway for Sound Transit’s East Link light rail extension from Seattle to Mercer Island, Bellevue, and Redmond.
Expect some heavy traffic on alternate routes around Lake Washington like 520, 522, and I-5.
