Washington State Route 519

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State Route 519 is a highway entirely within the city of Seattle, Washington, slightly over a mile in length. Defined by the legislature as "beginning at a junction with state route number 90 in Seattle, thence westerly, and northerly to the Washington state ferry terminal", it was created in 1992 and began at the end of Interstate 90 at 4th Avenue S. It then ran south to the intersection of 4th Avenue S. and S. Royal Brougham Way, turned west on Royal Brougham, crossed the tracks of the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway, and ran to the intersection of Royal Brougham and Alaskan Way S. There, it turned north, and ran to Washington State Ferries' Colman Dock on Elliott Bay.

In spring 2004, the Washington State Department of Transportation finished phase one of its South Seattle Intermodal Access project, which involves the closure of the I-90 on- and off-ramps at 4th Avenue S., the extension of S. Atlantic Street (since renamed Edgar Martinez Drive S.) over the rail tracks, and the connection of this new bridge to new ramps to I-90. Interstate 90 eastbound now begins at the intersection of 4th Avenue S. and Edgar Martinez Drive S. However, SR 519 is still signed from its original terminus at 4th Avenue S. and Royal Brougham Way, which is still the terminus of Interstate 90 westbound.
