Bellevue HOV AccessDescription
The Bellevue HOV Access Project (Access Downtown) is part of a regional effort to improve transportation along the I-405 corridor. The project makes it easier to travel in an out of downtown Bellevue from the freeway. The Bellevue HOV Access Project is a new interchange on I-405 at Northeast Sixth Street for buses and carpools, giving buses direct access to the expanded Bellevue Transit Center. It improves freeway interchanges at Northeast Fourth, Northeast Eighth, and Southeast Eighth streets including improvements to nearby city street intersections. In addition, a number of local street improvements help traffic flow during construction of the project.
