Southbound SR 529 to close at Snohomish River Bridge Tuesday morning, Nov. 6

EVERETT – Travelers headed south on State Route 529 in Marysville will need to plan for added travel time Tuesday morning, Nov. 6, while Everett and Marysville police scan the scene of a recent collision on the Snohomish River Bridge.

  • From 10 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6, all lanes of southbound SR 529 at the north end of the Snohomish River Bridge will close.

US 2: Peak Use Shoulder Lane closed

People who use eastbound US 2 between Everett and Lake Stevens should plan for travel delays as the peak-use shoulder lane will remain closed through Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 6.

The lane closure is in place so our crews can use a large crane to remove logs and storm debris in the Ebey Slough. When water is running high and fast in the slough, debris can pile up against the bridge’s support columns, increasing pressure on the structure and adding to the potential for upstream flooding.

The peak-use shoulder lane is open to eastbound traffic weekdays from 2-7 p.m.
