History

Construction of the Seattle Bypass began in the early 1950s. Between 1954 and 1957, the first 19 miles between Renton and Bothell on the east side was opened, and on September 3, 1965, the 6 mile section between Tukwila and Renton was opened on the south side of Seattle. Seattle. The northern portion of Bothell opened to I-5 in 1968. The highway was originally numbered State Route 405, and was renumbered I-405 in 1971. The road was then widened and modernized on the east side to 2×3 lanes. The route was modernized by Renton in the 1990s, the many bends were then straightened.

Future

In 2003, the so-called Nickel Project started, which is funded by a 5 cents per gallon increase in excise tax and a tax increase on heavy trucks and a 0.3% increase in the tax charged on new cars, and includes a road widening plan along Seattle’s east side of I-405. Not all parts of the widening of I-405 have been funded yet.

Express lanes

Later, a switch was made to the construction of express lanes where tolls are levied. These are constructed between downtown Bellevue and I-5 at Lynnwood north of Seattle. The 27 km long express lanes opened on September 27, 2015. With dynamic toll collection, free-flow is always guaranteed. The use of express lanes was more than 3 times higher than expected in the first quarter.

There are two express lanes in each direction between NE 6th Street in Bellevue and NE 160th Street in Woodinville. Further north to I-5 is one express lane in each direction.
