Washington DOT Announces Design, Construction Partner to Replace Portage Bay Bridge
The Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced the design and construction partner to replace Seattle's Portage Bay Bridge.
Skanska has been chosen to design and build two new parallel bridges as part of the final improvements to the SR 520 corridor.
The bridge is the final stretch of SR 520 that connects Montlake to Interstate 5 over Portage Bay.
The $1.4 billion project will extend the bicycle and pedestrian trail. It will also create a three-acre recreational landscape lid over SR 520 between 10th Avenue East and Delmar Drive East in north Capitol Hill.
Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2031. This project is a part of the broader SR 520 improvement plan which the 2015 Connection Washington and 2022 Move Ahead Washington transportation legislative packages fund.
