WSDOT delays opening of Marysville interchange, ramps
EVERETT — State officials pushed back the opening date of a new interchange connecting south Marysville to I-5 and a nearby state highway due to supply chain issues.
The Washington State Department of Transportation expects to open a northbound off-ramp leading to First Street and State Avenue in Marysville later in September, department spokesperson Tom Pearce wrote in an email. The southbound off-ramp and a roundabout connecting the interchange is expected to open in early October.
In July, the agency said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony that it planned to open the ramps in mid-August. But supply chain delays in getting the materials to build signage for the northbound off-ramp pushed the opening day back, Pearce said.
That signage work is expected to begin later this month, he said. The southbound off-ramp still needs to be paved, and that work is scheduled for the last week of September. Paving work requires dry weather, so the exact opening dates could end up moving depending on rain conditions, Pearce added.
