The improvement consists of the reconstruction of approximately 7 miles of SR 90 to six lanes, with fully controlled limited access, from a point 0.95 mile east of SR 18 at Echo Lake Interchange to the overcrossing of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) at Tanner. This section of SR 90 located in King County, is a major transcontinental route and is the only cross-mountain interstate highway linking Washington's major population centers. The project will provide a smoother and safer traffic flow, relieving the town of North Bend of the severe traffic congestion that now plagues the community, and providing the motorist with a more efficient transportation system based on the standards for interstate highway design. Other unavoidable adverse effects of the project are the modifying of game migration trails, some damage to life systems, some degradation of water quality, the visual detraction of use of forests and open countryside, the displacement of families, and the use of potential residential areas. In recognition of the adverse effects caused by the implementation of the project, every effort will be made to relieve or minimize them.
