The Washington State Transportation Department and Sound Transit are adding high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to the outer roadways (existing general purpose lanes) in both directions of I-90 between Seattle and Bellevue.

Expect some heavy traffic on alternate routes around Lake Washington like 520, 522, and I-5.
