Totem Lake Freeway Station/NE 128thDescription
The Totem Lake Freeway Station project created a new I-405 overpass connecting N.E. 128th Street, and provides direct access to/from the north and southbound high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-405. The station serves the Totem Lake area of Kirkland including the Kingsgate Park-and-Ride and the Totem Lake Transit Center currently being built on the Evergreen Hospital campus.
The project improves east/west mobility across I-405 and gives transit and HOV users direct access to/from I-405, providing fast, reliable connections to ST Express and King County Metro Transit buses.
The project also includes public art, new landscaping and a covered pedestrian walkway connecting the Kingsgate Park-and-Ride with the new freeway transit station located on the direct-access ramps.
