SR202 Widening/Trestle Replacement

At a glance

This project involves widening SR 202 from five lanes to eight lanes between NE 175th Street and NE 177th Place (Little Bear Creek Pkwy) and replacing the existing rail trestle with a new pedestrian bridge. The construction work will create a new gateway into Woodinville, while reducing traffic congestion in the downtown corridor.

• SR 202 lane expansion will ease traffic congestion and improve the flow of vehicles.
• Pollinator pockets will be included in the project for each zone along the Eastrail Trail, from the Sammamish River Trail to 133rd Ave, NE.

Public engagement

The community has played a vital role in shaping the design of the new pedestrian bridge. A public survey helped inform the decision-making process, and the Woodinville City Council officially approved the bridge design on February 6, 2024.

The community's input ensures that the new pedestrian bridge will serve both transportation needs and the broader vision for the area.
