As 4-month closure looms, Highway 529 bridge to briefly close Sunday
EVERETT — Crews will shut down northbound Highway 529 between Everett and Marysville on Sunday as they prepare for a four-month closure this spring.
The northbound section of the bridge over the Snohomish River will be closed 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. During that time, state Department of Transportation crews will take measurements of the bridge. They’ll use those measurements to buy materials for the monthslong closure.
During Sunday’s closure, drivers will need to use I-5 instead. The walkway on the northbound side will remain open.
The four-month closure could start in mid-May, the transportation department said this week. The southbound Snohomish River Bridge will be shifted to allow one lane of travel in each direction, so northbound drivers don’t have to get on I-5. Crossovers will allow drivers to shift onto the southbound bridge and then back to the northbound side once they pass the Snohomish River.
