MARYSVILLE — Drivers headed north on State Route 529 to Marysville should allow some extra time for their trips, or plan to take alternate routes, the evening of July 28.

Crews will close northbound SR 529 across the Ebey Slough Bridge at 9 p.m. on July 28 while they install concrete barriers. The roadway will reopen at 10 a.m. on July 29. Drivers will follow a signed detour using northbound I-5 and Fourth Street in Marysville.

Drivers should also plan ahead for the week of Aug. 2, when crews will begin driving steel poles into the ground to form the foundation for a temporary work platform next to the existing bridge. The work is noisy and could be visually distracting, so crews urge drivers to stay alert and use caution through the work zone. Drivers should plan for single-lane daytime closures that week as crews move equipment in and out of the construction area.

This work is part of the SR 529 Ebey Slough Bridge Replacement project. The Washington State Department of Transportation is replacing the 85-year-old Ebey Slough Bridge with a four-lane, fixed-span bridge.
