South Everett Freeway Station

The South Everett Freeway Station project introduced an innovative park and ride facility within the median of I-5, north of 112th Street SE in Everett—the first of its kind in Washington State. This facility offers 389 parking spaces, passenger platforms, shelters, and dedicated direct access ramps for transit and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) use, optimizing commute times. The project also included the construction of two Silver Lake Creek Wetponds.

Working closely with the City of Everett, the project featured extensive enhancements to 112th Street SE, including the replacement of existing bridges with two new five-lane bridges—one spanning northbound I-5 and the other spanning southbound I-5. The expansion of the street to five lanes and the addition of 6-foot-wide sidewalks and 5-foot-wide bicycle lanes in both directions improved local community mobility. Remarkably, the project's construction included the installation of new I-5 bridges, executed during two nighttime full closures, with one direction closed at a time. These closures witnessed the efficient placement of girders, ranging from 60 to 116 feet in length, further streamlining the project's timeline. Additional components comprised utility installations, noise walls, paving, pedestrian and traffic barriers, guardrails, illumination systems, and landscaping efforts, all aimed at enhancing transportation infrastructure while minimizing disruptions.
