With residential and commercial projects currently in construction, such as Elements Too, The Bravern, Washington Square, and others in the pipeline such as VIDA, it will bring in even more traffic in on an already congested area. This transportation project once created, will hardly make a difference relative to what we are used to today. It is more of a preventative project for many new residents and workers who will now be traveling to Downtown Bellevue on a regular basis.
The Bellevue Reporter recently reported that this project will be a partnership between both the City of Bellevue and the Department of Transportation. When complete, the project will allow traffic to travel directly across I-405 onto NE 10th Street.
This new bridge is slated to be complete and open to motorists in 2009.
