5th NE was closed Monday at NE 185th for delivery and placement of steel poles in concrete foundations for the light rail guide lines into the 185th Shoreline North station which will be constructed just north of this intersection.

The station area has been partially flattened and covered with gravel. The rest is currently a large depression filled with shredded trees. The trunks are in a pile off to the side, not visible in this photo.

The steel pole is lifted into place. This work will continue on 5th. Thursday or later, the 185th overpass will be temporarily narrowed to allow steel poles to be installed there.
