Yearlong bridge closure between Everett, Mukilteo begins Wednesday

Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Edgewater Bridge will be closed for the next year due to a $34 million replacement project, vital for maintaining the connection between Everett and Mukilteo. This closure will significantly impact approximately 6,000 daily commuters, who will have to navigate a 7. 5-mile detour. The project has experienced multiple delays, originally set for completion in 2022 but pushed back due to pandemic-related issues and environmental reviews, with further delays from bidding errors. The new bridge will be structurally sound and include wider lanes, sidewalks, and bike paths, improving safety for all users.

While pedestrian access will be restricted during construction, these enhancements aim to meet modern safety standards and accommodate future transportation needs.
