Ceremony kicks off new I-405 overpass

By JOURNAL STAFF

BELLEVUE -- Groundbreaking is scheduled this morning on a major portion of the $164 million Bellevue Direct Access project.

Officials from Sound Transit, the state Department of Transportation, the city of Bellevue, King County, the Federal Highway Administration and the state Transportation Improvement Board will join at 10 a.m. to kick off the $50 million project.

A new direct-access interchange will be built at Northeast Sixth Avenue, and the overpass at Northeast Fourth Avenue will be demolished and rebuilt. Guy F. Atkinson Construction of Renton is the general contractor.

The total cost for the Bellevue Direct Access project is $164 million, with $108 million from Sound Transit. The aim of the project is to improve transit access and traffic flow along Interstate 405 in Bellevue, and to and from downtown.
