Welcome!

WSDOT is starting construction on the SR 509, I-5 to 24th Avenue South – Expressway Project (Stage 1b) in fall 2021. This project is part of WSDOT’s effort to extend the SR 509 highway from where it currently ends by Sea-Tac International Airport to Interstate 5 (I-5).

What is the SR 509 Completion Project?

The SR 509, I-5 to 24th Avenue South – Expressway Project is part of the greater SR 509 Completion Project, scheduled for completion in 2028. The SR 509 Completion Project will ultimately extend SR 509 to I-5 in SeaTac. People traveling through the area will have a new southern route to get to Sea-Tac International Airport and be able to bypass I-5, SR 518, and local streets. Community members will experience fewer container trucks on local roads as freight drivers will have a new route to access the airport. Along with the SR 99 tunnel improvements, travelers in the area will have access to a critical north-south alternative to I-5 through Seattle and King County.
