180th St SE - Phase I

Update - May 2020

Construction on this project resumed on May 4. The temporary suspension allowed the contractor time to prepare and submit a COVID-19 work plan to the county and acquire personal protective equipment for workers. The work plan provides for COVID-19 staff training, which includes social distancing when possible and following hazard mitigation plans for work tasks that do not allow for social distancing.

We appreciate your support in maintaining a six foot social distance from our construction workers. If you have questions about this project please contact us at the number listed on this page.


Description

Snohomish County’s six-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) identifies projects to improve conditions for pedestrians and motorists along the 180th St. SE corridor. One of these is a project along 180th St. SE beginning at the Bothell-Everett Highway (SR 527) intersection.


The county is proposing to add two lanes to bring 180th St. SE up to five-lanes between SR 527 and 23rd Ave SE (Phase I), along with bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the road.


The project was recently awarded $4 million from the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board for construction funding.

Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2020. The project will be completed by fall 2021.
