The existing HOV lane will be combined with a new lane to create a dual express toll lane system.

The new express toll lanes will connect to the existing express toll lane system between Bellevue and Lynnwood, as well as the SR 167 HOT lanes via the I-405/SR 167 Interchange Direct Connector, to create a 40-mile system of express toll lanes.

The project is a joint venture with Flatiron Construction.
