Open house to show I-90 project
Sep 13 2008
The Washington State Department of Transportation will hold an open house in Bellevue to highlight the completion of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) of the Snoqualmie Pass East project.
The project is intended to improve I-90 by providing a safer, more efficient six-lane freeway from Hyak to Easton.
The project will straighten roadway curves, replace old pavement, and reduce rock fall and avalanche hazards. The state also will construct wildlife crossings over and under I-90 for the movement of wildlife and enhance wetlands and habitats throughout the corridor.
Construction is scheduled to begin on the first five miles of the project in 2009.
The Bellevue meeting will be from 4-7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16 at Lewis Creek Visitors Center, 5808 Lakemont Blvd.
A formal presentation will not be made.
