Edgewater Bridge to receive more federal funding
EVERETT — The replacement of Edgewater Bridge recently got a federal funding boost.
The city received an $850,000 federal grant this month for work at the site, which will move the total cost to $34,850,000. Council is expected to vote on the cost change in early February. About $6 million will come from local funds with $25 million coming from a federal bridge fund. U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, requested the funds.
Edgewater Bridge is a vital link between Mukilteo and Everett.
About 6,000 vehicles each day cross the bridge near Edgewater Park. The park will receive renovations once bridge construction is finished. Traffic will be detoured along Glenwood Avenue, Merrill Creek Parkway, Highway 525 and Highway 526.
