Edgewater Bridge Project Updates Construction Zone Safety Alerts

Everett, WALocal News

The Edgewater Bridge project in Everett, WA, is a significant infrastructure initiative that began in late October 2024, necessitating the closure of Mukilteo Boulevard for about 12 months. As construction progresses, local authorities have observed troubling instances of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles entering the construction zone despite clear signage. This behavior not only endangers those individuals but also complicates ongoing construction efforts. The city has issued a strong reminder for residents and commuters to adhere to safety measures and avoid the closed areas. The Edgewater Bridge replacement aims to enhance transportation infrastructure and improve safety for all users in the long term.

Local updates are available on the city’s official website, where residents can find details about detours and project timelines. This initiative reflects Everett's commitment to maintaining and upgrading vital infrastructure. As the project unfolds, it is crucial for community members to stay informed and prioritize safety.
