156th Street NE Overcrossing | Estimated Project Cost: $28.5M

A future interchange at Interstate 5 and 156th Street NE is funded under Connecting Washington. This overcrossing would allow neighborhoods to the west of I-5 access to the new interchange. The City’s request will fund design, permitting, right of way, and construction.

SR9/SR92 Intersection Improvements | Estimated Project Cost: $5.5M

The SR9/SR92 Intersection Improvement Project would replace the signalized intersection with a roundabout.  The City received break-in-access approval in 2010 from WSDOT to accommodate a fourth leg (35^th St NE) at this intersection with additional signal improvements.  As part of recent work to advance design and construct the intersection improvements, the City was required by WSDOT to perform an Intersection Control Evaluation (I.C.E.) study.  As a result of the study, it was determined that signal improvements would work in the short-term.  Long-term, the intersection would be best served by a roundabout, both from a traffic congestion and safety perspective.  The City’s request will fund construction of the roundabout.
