When

• Weekend lane closures: 6pm Nov. 6 through 6am Nov. 9.
• Weekday bus-only lane closure hours: 6am Nov. 9 through 6am Nov. 16.
• Other roadway work hours: Monday – Friday, 9am – 3pm

Where

• SR 522 (NE Bothell Way) between 60th Ave NE and 73rd Ave NE.

As early as Friday, November 6, 2026 Sound Transit will temporarily close the eastbound bus-only lane and one eastbound general traffic lane on SR 522 (NE Bothell Way) between 60th Ave NE and 73rd Ave NE. 

Crews need these temporary closures to pour and cure the concrete bus pads that Stride buses will stop on when picking up and dropping off riders. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled to a later date.

Crews will temporarily close the eastbound bus-only lane and one eastbound general traffic lane on Friday, Nov. 6 at 6pm to prepare for weekend concrete bus pad pours at Stride stations. After the concrete bus pads are poured, crews will remove the eastbound general lane closure around work areas. The eastbound bus-only lane will remain closed through 6am Monday, Nov. 16 to prevent cars and buses from driving over the concrete bus pads while they harden.

Traffic patterns will change during weekend construction. Buses will merge into general-purpose traffic lanes to bypass the work. Temporary bus stops will remain accessible. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians should follow posted signs and plan for extra travel time.

Riders and drivers will still be able to make right turns in and out of businesses and residences on SR 522 (NE Bothell Way) between 61st Ave NE and 73rd Ave NE. All businesses and residences will remain open and accessible.
