What is the SR 509 Completion Project?

The SR 509, I-5 to 24th Avenue S. – 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 and add a southern access route to Sea-Tac International Airport to allow drivers to bypass I-5, SR 518, and local streets.

When finished, SR 509 will provide new access to the airport and will help get freight off local streets. Along with the SR 99 tunnel improvements, WSDOT will provide a critical north-south alternative to I-5 through Seattle and King County.

The project will improve access through the area with interchange improvements, new ramps that connect I-5 to SR 509, and the first mile of the SR 509 Expressway. Stage 2 of the project will complete the connection between 24th Avenue South and South 188th Street (where SR 509 currently ends).
