Get ready for year of Mukilteo detours with $34M bridge replacement [View all]

EVERETT — Travelers on Mukilteo Boulevard between Everett and Mukilteo soon will have to take the long way around, for a long time.

The replacement of Edgewater Bridge, a vital link between the two cities, will take a year. It severs all traffic — motorist, cyclist and pedestrian — both ways.

“We anticipate construction activities will start toward the end of this summer,” Everett Public Works spokesperson Kathleen Baxter said in an email.

The project is set to cost about $34 million, she said. Of this, $28 million is from federal bridge program grants and $6 million in local dollars. The original estimate for the project, which has undergone delays for several years, was $22 million. The City Council awarded the contract to Granite Construction, one of two bidders, on May 29.
