You're Invited to the June 6 SR 520 Montlake Project Design & Preconstruction Open House

Reminder: you’re invited to a June 6 SR 520 Montlake Project design and preconstruction open house

The design-build contractor for the SR 520 Montlake Project, Graham, is preparing to begin construction. Before crews break ground, Graham will host an open house next Thursday, June 6, to give project neighbors and corridor travelers the opportunity to meet the design and construction team, see the latest project renderings, review the preliminary construction schedule and learn how to review and comment on the Community Construction Management Plan (more information on this is available below!).

The SR 520 Montlake Project is the first of four remaining projects in the SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program. We call these four, collectively, the “Rest of the West.” The Montlake Project includes a new Montlake interchange, a landscaped lid over SR 520, a bicycle/pedestrian bridge connecting East Montlake Park to the Arboretum, and a new West Approach Bridge South for eastbound traffic.

For those unable to attend in person, the information presented at the open house will also be available in an online open house. We’ll provide details soon about the online event.

In-person open house details:

Date/time: Thursday, June 6, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Location: St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 2100 Boyer Ave. E., Seattle, WA 98112
Transit: Bus routes 43, 48, 255, 311 and 545 serve the Montlake/SR 520 area. The U District Link light rail station at Husky Stadium is about one mile from St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church.

Opportunity for public comment

Graham has developed a draft Community Construction Management Plan (CCMP) to identify best measures and practices to reduce effects from SR 520 Montlake Project work on historic properties, neighbors, and travelers on the SR 520 corridor. Copies of the document will be available at the June 6 open house. You may also review the draft CCMP online. Afterward, please take this survey to let us know your thoughts on the procedures proposed to avoid, minimize, and reduce the effects of construction.
