Does anyone live in Seattle and work in Bellevue or vice versa? If you do, get ready to pay anywhere from $6 - $10 dollars a day to drive round trip across the 520 bridge. There has not been a toll approved for the I-90 bridge, but expect one to come. People are going to try to avoid the toll on 520 and drive across I-90. This is going to create an I-90 mess, even worse than the current 520 mess.
The $6 - $10 dollar toll is going to cover an expansion of the 520 bridge. This new six lane floating bridge is expected to be completed in 2015.
Since the toll will be in effect starting sometime next year, are you going to move across the lake or find another job? At $10 dollars a day, 5 days a week, that's $2,400 a year. Is your commute toll+gas+parking worth that?
