The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge closes tonight at 11 and doesn’t reopen until 5 a.m. Monday. And there will be more closures later this summer.
Included are both directions of State Route 520 and all ramps between Montlake Boulevard and Interstate 405. SR-520 will remain open between Montlake Boulevard and Interstate 5.
Crews will be building a new fish-passable culvert and performing annual inspections and maintenance on the floating bridge.
From the state Department of Transportation:
With approximately 166,000 vehicles traveling this route on a typical summer weekend, we need drivers to take alternate routes, avoid the area if possible and plan for added travel time and delays. We also suggest using carpools and transit.
