WSDOT: Traffic more congested following I-405 toll lanes
Well, duh! Who didn't foresee this? I don't believe for a moment they'll go away in two years either. They're a disaster and everybody knows it. I suspect the people who decide these things get to use them for free and love them.
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- It's not yet clear if the express lanes will have a permanent place on I-405 as the state has two years to gather data to find a solution.
The Washington State Department of Transportation said traffic has become more congested around the Bothell area since the lanes went in.
Driver Cynthia Ulrich has avoided I-405 since the express toll lanes opened in September.
"I use surface streets, arteries, and the Bothell-Everett Highway to get where I work in south Everett to our home in Woodinville," Ulrich said.
