SR520 Construction Boating Restrictions

 WSDOT published this information:

There is a horizontal green band that reads Rest of the West News. Above it is the letters W S D O T. An oval on the right reads state route 520.


Paddle safely this summer – boating restrictions around SR 520 construction

With warmer weather upon us, we want to remind you to stay safe by staying out of our construction zones on Union Bay and Lake Washington. The map below shows the construction zone for work that will continue through 2023. Boaters and paddlers, please stay at least 100 feet from construction.

Remember:

  • The boating restrictions are active along the entire length of the construction zone and both sides of the bridge.
  • Pay attention to signs posted at launch areas and within construction zones.
  • Watch for changing conditions on the water.
