Edgewater Bridge opening beset by another delay
EVERETT — The long-awaited opening date of a bridge connecting Everett to Mukilteo has been pushed back again, the city’s public works department announced Monday.
The Edgewater Bridge is now expected to open in April 2026, the city said. It had previously hoped to open the bridge in the first quarter of 2026.
In a project update, the city cited a number of reasons for the additional delay. The first was from working on the steep slopes with soft soils, which the public works department said were subject to destabilization.
In October, the city wrote, an atmospheric river overflowed storm drains in an area west of the bridge, causing “a torrent of rainwater” to flow down the slope, damaging significant project infrastructure. The area has also seen other instances of sliding soil since May, the city wrote.
