Completed in 2025, the Montlake Project improved transportation for motorized and nonmotorized travel along the SR 520 Corridor. It built a new earthquake-resilient eastbound bridge over Union Bay, a three-acre landscaped lid with regional transit stops, and almost a mile of new trails, including a 73-foot-wide, bicycle and pedestrian bridge over SR 520.
