Bellevue Way ramp to SR 520 will close this weekend

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

Crews with the state Department of Transportation will close the Bellevue Way westbound ramp to State Route 520 at 11 p.m. Friday, January 24, and reopen it by 5 a.m. Monday, January 27. The closure is needed to pave a section of the ramp and install lighting.
