1. What’s the difference between this study and the US 2 West Trestle study?

The I-5 / US 2 Interchange Planning Study was borne out of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) studies of the US 2 corridor, including the westbound trestle. Those studies identified the need for more planning and investigation into the I-5/US 2 interchange, which is west of the US 2 trestle. Traffic volumes are expected to continue to grow within the City of Everett and in the region creating further strain on this interchange. Congestion at the interchange will limit effectiveness of a future westbound US 2 trestle replacement, which is why we’re studying ways to make it more functional.

2. What will the I-5 / US 2 Planning Study evaluate?

This study will evaluate the existing interchange, connections to local streets, all the travel modes through it and how they will be impacted by the expected increase in traffic volume in the future.

3. What is the outcome of the I-5 / US 2 Planning Study?

The study will come up with an alternative(s) for redesigning the I-5/US 2 interchange and connections to City streets that will better serve the community and region.

4. How will the public be able to provide input to the study?

There will be three open houses throughout the study where members of the public can offer input and feedback. Please refer to the Timeline and budget tab at everettwa.gov/I5US2study to learn more.
