BELLEVUE, Wash. — Travelers can expect another week of disruptions on the Eastside and in the South Sound because of road work and construction.
The work is part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes project.
Drivers should expect backups in either direction of I-405 approaching Bellevue and heavier congestion throughout the corridor.
“The Renton to Bellevue project will add new capacity to create a two-lane express toll lane system between SR 167 in Renton and Northeast Sixth Street in Bellevue,” the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) wrote on its website about the project.
The goal of the project is to add one new lane in each direction and combine the existing HOV lane with the new lane to create a “dual express toll lane system,” WSDOT said.
Work resumes from April 19-April 25.
