JOHN LEWIS MEMORIAL BRIDGE
OVERVIEW
Kraemer completed work to open the John Lewis Memorial Bridge in Seattle, WA, to create new, safe routes for people walking, biking, and taking transit to connect a historically divided Northgate neighborhood. This bridge stretches 1,900 feet over I-5, serving South Transit’s Link light rail station and additional amenities such as parks, medical, and social services.
INNOVATIONS
Project improvements include a new connection over I-5, decreasing travel times for people walking and biking between the 2 sides of the highway; safety improvements and access for people walking and biking throughout the Northgate area; better access to regional transit at the King County Transit Center and Link light rail station, resulting in increased use of transit facilities; and improved connections between the Northgate retail center for its employees and customers and for residents and visitors to other nearby amenities, such as parks and medical and social services.
