Another 520 Closure Coming This Weekend

It's time once again for a weekend closure of the State Route 520 Bridge. The closure starts at 11 p.m. Friday and is slated to end by 5 a.m. Monday.

It's that time again. The 520 bridge will be closed this weekend between I-405 and Montlake Boulevard, and will likely cause an increase in traffic on cross-lake routes like I-90 through Mercer Island.

The closure is slated to start at 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, and will continue through 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 19. Crews will continue to install bridge girders over the highway during the closure.

Closure information and detour maps are online.

The 520 closure is related to the $306-million State Route 520 Eastside Transit and HOV project. More information on the Eastside Transit and HOV Project can be found on the WSDOT website.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
