Commuters through Kirkland are seeing big changes at the Interstate 405 (I-405)/Northeast 85th Street interchange, most notably the demolition of the collector-distributor clover-leaf ramps.

Contractors have added new intersections at the end of the existing on- and off-ramps. Now, that the clover-leaf ramps are gone, new traffic signals have created new left turns for drivers to access both Northeast 85th Street and on ramps to I-405.

also includes Sound Transit’s Stride Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and direct access to the I-405 Express Toll Lanes (ETLs).

Northeast 85th was specifically chosen by the City of Redmond, the and because of its main connections to Downtown Kirkland, Redmond and I-405.

This week, contractors will continue working on some ramps, leading to overnight closures. The I-405 south offramp and the northbound I-405 north on ramp from Northeast 85th close nightly between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

This project, that also include fish barriers connections, noise walls, and storm water drainage, is scheduled for completion in 2027.

Work on the new Link Light Rail is currently focused in Shoreline and Mountlake Terrace.
