Don’t hold your breath. I just noticed the project page on WSDOT site. It has a design phase starting in Sept 2017 and going for over 2 years. Construction starts in 2020? This doesn’t make me happy as I drive this one daily.

Check out this crazy new interchange coming to Lacey. We talked about this just a couple years ago. It’s pretty clever.
Looks like initial engineering is getting ready to start on this project. I can’t help but wonder though, the timeline calls for final design by 2017, construction in 2018 to start and completed in 2020.
I know I am a software guy, and I don’t really get the scale of these projects, but often they seem like more red-tape than actual progress.
SR 510 interchange
Why is WSDOT reconstructing the I-5 and SR 510 interchange in Lacey?To accommodate planned development adjacent to the interchange, the City of Lacey developed preliminary plans for a new I-5 and SR 510 interchange. The city was key in obtaining funding from the State Legislature as part of the Connecting Washington Transportation package

The 2015 Update to the Unfunded Priority List (pdf 100 kb) reflects the departments proposed investments for consideration during legislative new revenue discussions. This version is an update from what was used during the 2013 Senate Transportation Forums (listening sessions) across the state. Significant changes have been made to the layout and presentation of the report.
WSDOT recently published its quarterly performance and accountability report, the Gray Notebook, and states that 92.1 percent of state-owned bridges measured by deck area are in fair or better condition. It is an improvement from 91.4 percent in 2010, and shows about a 700,000 square foot reduction in the bridges by deck area that were in poor condition.
