A little update on the Northgate Pedestrian/Bike Bridge Project:
- Construction to begin early in 2020, to end in fall of 2021
- 1900 ft long, 16 ft. wide, 4% grade
- East terminus will be at NE 100th & 1st NE, with a spur directly to the Northgate Light Rail stop
- West terminus will be at a paved trail leading to N 100th St & College Way (Meridian) N
- Bridge will parallel the south edge of Bartonwood, just south of the gravel access road and north of the old ball field and parking lots
- Northgate Park and Ride on 1st NE (west side of 1st only) will be closed and used for staging. The area on west side of I-5 (Bartonwood/N Seattle College) will also be used for staging.
- Southbound I-5 will be closed for one weekend night, and closed northbound for one other night, while pre-assembled bridge halves are erected over the freeway
- On the west side, removed trees are to be replaced at an “at least” 2:1 ratio and with native species.
