Edgewater Bridge redo linking Everett, Mukilteo delayed until mid-2024
EVERETT — The replacement of a deficient and obsolete bridge that is a vital link connecting Mukilteo and Everett is delayed again, this time until June 2024.
The project, led by the city of Everett, will replace Edgewater Bridge on West Mukilteo Boulevard between Shore Avenue in Everett and Mukilteo Lane in Mukilteo. Construction is expected to take a year, during which time the road will be closed on both sides to cars, bikes and pedestrians, severing daily routes to schools and workplaces at Mukilteo city limits.
An error in the bidding process is the reason for the latest snag in the project, previously delayed by the pandemic and an environmental review that took longer than expected.
The original estimate of $22 million is now about $27 million. The plan is to advertise for bids in November with the bid opening in December and an award in January.
