Plans to rebuild the 41st Street bridge in Everett were rolled into the state’s massive I-5 widening project last week.
To complete the project, the city of Everett must decide whether to shut down the bridge entirely for six months or close half the bridge for a year or more. Either way, the commute will change drastically for the 25,000 motorists who use the overpass each day.
Are you a 41st Street bridge commuter? Would you prefer the bridge be closed for six months or reduced for a year?
