Traffic revision at Kenmore intersection


Long-term right turn lane and sidewalk closure

Starting March 30, 2026 Sound Transit will close the right-turn lane at the corner of eastbound SR-522 (Bothell Way) and 61st Ave NE in Kenmore. 

This closure will also encompass the sidewalk on the south side of SR-522, from the parking lot of Kenmore Dentistry to the intersection at 61st Ave NE. There is no detour for this sidewalk closure due to the lack of connecting sidewalks west of the closure.

This closure will continue through fall 2026. Eastbound traffic will still be able to turn right

    Thank for the warning. Does anyone know why they are closing that section?

    This post is confusing. Eastbound right hand turn lane is closed at 61st…but the last line says east bound traffic will still be able to turn right…so there isn’t an extra turn lane, but you can turn right from the main traffic lane? Be prepared to be rear ended then? Don’t forget to use your signal and slow way down so the person behind you can anticipate your turn!
