Okay. I've been out of town & assumed the grand opening meant it was completely finished.

I thought the bike lane on 520 won't be open until 2017.

That apparently is the case.
Thanks all for the info!

You can ride your bike on it but only from the east side. It doesn't connect to Montlake yet. It is free.
So no commute through, even from east side? Just ride across a bit from East but have to turn around ?
Correct.
Thanks. Bummer!
But Bertha, any
monthyeardecade now!The bike connection will finally open next year, by the way, when the West Approach Bridge North project finishes. I can't wait for it either!
