A State Route 520 on-ramp closure in Redmond will impact thousands of commuters starting Monday.
The old westbound ramp was closed on Friday night as crews have already started building a new elevated on-ramp.
The Washington State Department of Transportation said the closure will cause delays and backups on nearby highways and city roads.This work is all for the future light rail line that will travel at ground level below SR 520.The future light rail line is expected to take 15 minutes to downtown Bellevue and 45 minutes to downtown Seattle.“It’s a minor annoyance right now, but if that ramp gets closed, it’s going to be probably pretty terrible.
“It is what it is when you live in the city. It’s not what I’m used to, but I mean, if they have to do road work, they have to do road work. It might put some time on, getting to my friend’s place but I just bring my toothbrush and say I’m not going out there,” driver McKinzi said. Drivers also said they are in favor of the new light rail extension. They think it will be worth it in the long run.The light rail extension into Redmond is expected to be completed in two years.
