During the six-year permit, there will be times when certain projects will require the TNV permit and residents will get plenty of notice with the offer of accommodations if the noise level is uncomfortable for them.

Callers will be directed to leave a message including their name, address and as much detail as possible to help staff determine if adjustments can be made. Concerned residents can also email comments to sr520bridge@wsdot.wa.gov with the same detailed message.
