Edgewater Bridge connecting Everett, Mukilteo to open April 28
EVERETT — For residents on the border of Mukilteo and Everett, the long wait for the opening of a new bridge connecting the two cities will finally come to an end later this month.
The newly built Edgewater Bridge will open on April 28, the city of Everett announced Thursday, bringing an end to a year and a half of detours and construction for those in the bridge’s vicinity.
The project faced a litany of delays, even before construction began. City staff initially saw it as a project that could begin in 2022, but it was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental review and an error in the bidding process. In October 2024, the city closed the bridge for construction with a opening planned for late 2025.
In May 2025, that opening was pushed back to early 2026 because construction crews had difficulties installing steel piling, structures used to hold back soil during construction, due to old timber and concrete obstructions underground left behind by a previous bridge structure. Then, in December 2025, the opening was delayed again to April 2026, this time due to an atmospheric river damaging parts of the project, breakdowns in construction vehicles and increased efforts to stabilize steep slopes.
