Detailing the Bothell Crossroads Detours

If you’ve been driving around town lately, you might’ve noticed how unrecognizable downtown Bothell seems with all the construction going on. The construction is part of the Bothell Crossroads project, which will hopefully move some of our traffic to the new State Route 522 roadway alignment.

Although local businesses along the construction routes will remain open, here are some of the detours you can expect around town, through mid-October:

Crossroads detours
Traffic will switch to the new roadway at 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12.

Then, in order to complete side street connections to the newly constructed portion of SR 522, the following detours will be in place for approximately two months:

• Southbound traffic on Bothell Way Northeast (SR 527) will not be allowed to turn left onto Main Street. Drivers should use Northeast 185th Street to 101st Avenue Northeast to Main Street.

• Left-hand turns from Main Street onto southbound Bothell Way Northeast (SR 527) will not be allowed. Drivers detoured onto northbound Bothell Way Northeast to Northeast 185th Street to 104th Avenue Northeast to Kaysner Way to access SR 522 in either the east or west bound direction.

• Northbound traffic on 102nd Ave Northeast should use Kaysner Way to access SR 522 in either the east or west bound direction.
