The state Route 520 Montlake Project entails improving motorized and non-motorized transportation along the corridor with a new state Route 520 eastbound bridge over Union Bay. The project also features building a three-acre lid covering the highway in Montlake that includes regional transit stops and open green space. East of the lid, a bicycle and pedestrian bridge will be build over SR 520. The project is slated to be complete in summer of 2023 and is projected to cost $455 million.
