180th St SE - Phase I
Description - Completed
Snohomish County’s six-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) identifies projects to improve conditions for pedestrians and motorists, including along 180th St SE near Mill Creek.
The 180th St. SE - Phase I project expanded the three-lane road to five lanes from SR 527 to 23rd Ave SE. As part of this project, the merger of Thompson Creek and Silver Creek was relocated from the north side of 180th St SE to the south side, with each creek flowing beneath 180th St. SE through separate fish-passable culverts.
The project also added sidewalks, bike lanes, curbs, planter strips, and gutters within the project boundaries. Crews rebuilt the traffic signals at 180th St SE and Brook Blvd and created new stormwater detention and treatment facilities.
Schedule
Construction began in spring 2020 with a temporary month-long pause in work due to a statewide shutdown for COVID during March and April of 2020. The project resumed and was completed by fall 2021 as previously planned.
Funding
The project was awarded a $4 million grant from the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board for construction funding and was the beneficiary of a $3 million loan from the Public Works Trust Fund.
Environmental Review
An environmental review and Checklist was completed in compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) on March 2, 2018 for Phase I of the proposed 180th St. SE road improvement project.
Snohomish County Public Works determined that this project does not have a probable, significant adverse impact on the environment and has issued a Determination of Non-significance (DNS).
