Congestion is the problem.  We can do something about it!

WSDOT has selected Flatiron Constructors of Seattle as the apparent best value proposal ($155.5 million) to design and construct the I-405 NE 6th Street to I-5 Widening and Express Toll Lanes project. The project will complement the widening between NE 85th Street and NE 124th Street (Kirkland Nickel Stage 1 project) by providing one continuous northbound and southbound lane between NE 6th Street in Bellevue and SR 522 in Bothell.

To further enhance traffic operations in the Bothell area, a northbound "braided" ramp system will be built between the NE 160th Street and SR 522 interchanges. The NE 160th Street to I-405 northbound traffic and the I-405 to SR 522 traffic will be separated from each other to provide more efficient access to I-405 and SR 522. To aid congestion on southbound I-405 in the Bothell area, WSDOT will build wider shoulders between SR 522 and NE 160th Street and between SR 527 and NE 195th Street, allowing buses to use the shoulders during peak periods.
