NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Interstate 405 (Washington)

Interstate 405 (abbreviated I-405) in Washington is a 30-mile loop route that bypasses Seattle east of Lake Washington. The northern terminus is in Lynnwood and the southern terminus is in Tukwila. The highway runs through what has since become the "Eastside" technology center of Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland, making it an often congested commuter path. I-405 is known for its meandering "S-curves" through Renton. It intersects with Interstate 90 and a number of major state routes. Its official name is "Renton Freeway," though it is not so signed. Interstate 405 was laid over historic Secondary State Highway 2A. The speed limit for the entire freeway is 60 mph (96.6 km/h). Image File history File links I-405. ...

Future Plans

I-405 is considered as one of the worst congested freeways in Washington State. Many traffic and civil engineers over the past 10 years have questioned the future of this crowded bypass.

Currently underway is the Nickel Project, which is part of a master-plan to widen I-405 to be able to accommodate the ever-growing traffic problem on the Eastside of Seattle. Originally intended as a bypass to the already crowded I-5, I-405 has become just as commercially congested. The plan is expected to go through phases: adding HOV access lanes to Park & Rides, widening all of I-405 from its northern terminus to the southern terminus by at least one lane, and improving traffic flow on the freeway by widening overpasses and other freeways that converge into 405. The Nickel Project is a nickname for a transportation funding package enacted by the 2003 Washington State Legislature. ... Interstate 5 (abbreviated I-5) is the westernmost interstate highway in the continental United States. ...

Construction of the Nickel Project has already started in spring of 2006, and will go through several different phases. Two of the phases are expected to be underway in 2007, one of them between 112th Ave and I-90 adding a lane in each direction to the six-laned backed up freeway. The other is in Renton, where they will be widening the freeway with one lane in each direction from the southern terminus (I-5) to State Route 169. Both projects are estimated to be completed by 2009. The first new lanes of the project opened on Thursday, October 12, 2006, southbound between NE 116th Street and NE 85th Street, adding an additional general purpose lane for a total of one HOV lane and four general purpose lanes.^[1] Interstate 90 (abbreviated I-90) is the longest interstate highway in the United States at nearly 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers). ...
