From King County: Effective Friday night, June 21 at 11:59 PM, construction along SR 520 will require the permanent closure of the Montlake Freeway Station stops in both directions.
Affected bus routes are Metro routes 252, 255, 257, 268 and 311; Sound Transit Express routes 545 and 555, and all other agencies’ routes that have served the stops.
The bus stop northbound on Montlake Blvd E at E Shelby Street will be the closest alternate stop.
When the stops close, transit riders who need to transfer to or from other Eastside service will do so at other locations, such as Evergreen Point Station, Yarrow Point Station, the University of Washington Link light rail station or at other transfer points in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, downtown Seattle or in the University District.
To minimize the impact, WSDOT and Sound Transit are partnering to add more evening and weekend trips on ST Route 542 to augment existing service.
