MARYSVILLE — Those who commute between Marysville and Everett on State Route 529 should look for an alternate route during the weekend of April 14-15, because the Ebey Slough Bridge replacement project is set to hit another milestone. Between 10 p.m. on Friday, April 13, and 5 a.m. on Monday, April 16, the Washington State Department of Transportation will be closing all lanes of the old Ebey Slough Bridge, so that construction crews can move northbound traffic from the old bridge onto the eastside of the new Ebey Slough Bridge being built beside it. Starting on April 16, northbound traffic on SR 529 will be on the eastside of the new Ebey Slough Bridge, while southbound traffic on SR 529 will remain on the westside on the old Ebey Slough Bridge. Before that section of the new bridge can be opened to traffic, however, temporary barriers need to be set up, permanent guard rails need to be installed, the grade of the existing road needs to connect to both sides of the new bridge, and the paint striping needs to be SEE BRIDGE, PAGE 2
