No access to Edgewater Bridge construction zone

The Edgewater Bridge construction zone in Everett is facing significant safety concerns as unauthorized access continues despite clear warnings. City officials report that pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles are entering the site, often underestimating the risks involved. While the bridge may appear intact, it is currently being used as a platform for the construction of a new bridge, leading to potentially hazardous conditions. Increased construction activity is anticipated over the next month, heightening the urgency for residents to respect the closure and safety barriers. Officials stress that unauthorized access is dangerous not only for individuals attempting to cross but also for workers engaged in construction activities.

The city is committed to ensuring public safety and has provided resources on the Edgewater Bridge Replacement Project for those seeking more information. Residents are encouraged to share this critical information with their neighbors to foster community awareness. By prioritizing safety, the city aims to prevent accidents and ensure a smooth construction process.
