I-405 express lanes soon to become more expensive for commuters
OLYMPIA — Starting March 1, tolls will be as high as $15 for commuters driving on I-405’s express lanes.
The Washington State Transportation Commission approved the changes Monday amid strong opposition from the public.
Leading up to the meeting, the commission received more than 5,000 emails commenting on the proposed toll increase. Of those emails, 4,200 expressed opposition.
Hours for the express toll lanes on I-405, which stretch from Lynnwood to Bellevue, will be 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, an increase of an hour each day. On weekends, the express lanes remain free.
