EVERETT, Wash. — The City of Everett says the old Edgewater Bridge, built in 1946, has been demolished to make way for a new bridge connecting Everett and Mukilteo.
The old bridge reached the end of its functional life and crews have already started a new span using the existing foundation to build a temporary bridge as crews bring in heavy equipment, the city said in a release.
The new Edgewater Bridge is being engineered to withstand seismic activity and is estimated to cost $34 million to build.
City officials estimate the new bridge will open to traffic in the first quarter of 2026.
