All comments on the SDEIS are due by March 8. WSDOT will review and consider comments from the public before identifying a preferred Montlake interchange option this spring. A final environmental impact statement is scheduled to be released in about a year. Construction permits would follow and a replacement floating bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in 2014.
