ConDig (05-Sept–23) Swedish developer and contractor Skanska has driven off with a $834 million contract to revamp and expand the I-405 corridor in Bothell, Washington.

Under the deal with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the contractor will create a dual express toll lane (ETL) system from south of the I-405/SR 522 interchange to the I-405/SR 527 interchange.
