Known as “Crossroads,” this $60 million project is the largest investment in the city’s history. The project will increase safety and improve capacity for the 46,000 vehicles that pass through that intersection daily. 

The Crossroads Project consists of three construction phases: 

      • Phase I completed on May 21, 2010: Demolishing 14 buildings located in the area of the SR 522 alignment. 
      • Phase II completed on December 6, 2010: Site clearing, stockpiling of preload material and contaminated soil cleanup.
      • Phase III to be completed on March 2014: site grading, roadway construction, utility installation and landscaping. 

In the 2011 Legislative Session the Mountlake Terrace Democrat was instrumental in restoring the necessary funding for the Crossroads Project in the Capital Budget.
