    Good to Go electronic tolling is expected to begin in summer of 2011 on the SR 520 bridge to help pay for the construction of a new faster, safer bridge.

    Most popular roosting spots: the art sculptures on the west side of the bridge or the overhead road light

    I started a vanpool, and we get through pretty quickly in the carpool lane. With the upcoming toll and gas approaching $4/gallon, I recommend it if you can!

    I call the bald eagle that hangs out on the light posts on the west end Sam. Like on the Muppets.

    My least favorite road in the history of roads. If you're here and reading this, I truly pity you. I'm likely stuck in the same traffic you are.

    Consider bringing a wetsuit and fins if you're a decent swimmer to beat traffic.
