The Cascadia Center just posted a valuable piece about funding a replacement for the ailing State Route 520 Bridge between Seattle and the Eastside.

The piece by Cascadia Fellow Matt Rosenberg highlights the $2.38 billion funding gap, and discusses the various plans to close the gap with tolls on both 520 and the Interstate 90 bridge, as well as possibly along the 520 corridor.

Pegged to a Sept. 22 meeting of the SR 520 Legistlative Work Group, the piece offers a one-stop source for the latest thinking on these complex issues. The short takeaway: tolls ahead.
