Planning study news
The Washington State Department of Transportation, Northwest Region Mount Baker Area is initiating the Interstate 5 Skagit Transportation Study. The study is part of a larger statewide effort to look at mobility and safety on I-5 in Washington. We are evaluating current and future conditions on I-5 in Skagit County between the Old Highway 99 Interchange at exit 224 and the Cook Road Interchange at exit 232 to identify near and mid-term strategies and solution alternatives to address multimodal safety and operational needs. This study is the first step toward identifying a long-term vision of multimodal investments that are needed to accommodate future growth and travel demands.
Purpose
The 9-mile stretch of I-5 between Mount Vernon and Burlington is the backbone of the transportation network in Skagit County, powering the economy, linking local businesses to regional markets and connecting people to jobs, goods and each other. To plan for future growth, address safety and operations challenges and support the potential of the corridor and region, WSDOT is conducting the I-5 Skagit Transportation Study to identify and assess strategies to improve mobility, connectivity and safety for all users.
