Snohomish County Public Works Hosting Open House for Proposed 43^rd Ave SE/Sunset Rd Project

Proposed project will widen road, create additional north/south thoroughfare

EVERETT, Wash., Nov. 22, 2019 – To address continuing growth and traffic congestion in the area between the cities of Mill Creek and Bothell, Snohomish County Public Works is proposing a road improvement project on 43^rd Ave SE/Sunset Dr to provide more north-south roadway capacity. An open house is scheduled to take place between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Willis Tucker Community Park Activity Center, to discuss the status of the proposed project.

The proposed project design includes widening and connecting road sections on 43^rd Ave SE/Sunset Rd between 180^th St SE and Maltby Road (SR 524). Proposed features include roundabouts at the intersections at 43^rd Ave SE and 196^th St SE and at 43^rd Ave SE and Maltby Rd (SR 524), signal improvements at 180^th St SE and Sunset Rd, and added stormwater facilities. Construction for the proposed project is scheduled to begin in 2022.
