message: Should it be called "freeway"? There is a toll for crossing the bridge section.
Should the article include something about the sculptures? Prior to about 2005(?) by University exit there were a pair of mobile statues on the north and south side in the water. Then they were replaced by another statue. About 2017 they were removed.
Should the article discuss the impact of the 2017 bridge on closures? Prior to the new bridge, there was a weekend closure about 52.0% of the time in the summer.
Should the article discuss closures due to stormy weather, and how the new (2017) bridge can help solve storm closures due to being higher above the water?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericjster (talk • contribs) 20:16, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the "free" in "freeway" means "free-flowing", not "free of charge". I'll defer to others for your other questions. Imzadi 1979 →  01:18, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Ha ha, one could argue both meanings don't apply!  :-) (Depending on which dictionary and time of day.) User:Ericjster  —Preceding undated comment added 19:51, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

text: Regarding the other questions: coverage of the statues should be included in their own, separate article; I assume you're refering to these things, which probably fit the old bridge article better than this one. Same goes for the closures and storm resilience, the latter of which is mentioned in the new bridge article. This article is primarily about the whole freeway, not just the bridge.

message: I understand that the WSDOT and state legislative definitions state that the eastern terminus is SR-202, but this is not the reality on the ground. The route continues as a freeway until it reaches Avondale Road, which is a grade crossing. The interchange with SR-202 only makes use of ramps, and the freeway continues straight past it.

replies: text: The lack of a source makes this discussion pointless. The interchange diagram makes it very clear that SR 520 ends at the overpass in WSDOT's eyes, and thus ours. There are plenty of highways that end at a point while the physical road continues onward under county or city maintenance. SounderBruce 08:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @SounderBruce the article could state that the freeway ends at both SR-202 and Avondale. According to the diagram you provided, the route ends at SR-202 as well as a set of ramps to Avondale Road. These ramps should at least be mentioned. DirtyHarry991 (talk) 08:58, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The continuation is already mentioned and would need a reliable source of its own if additional details were necessary. SounderBruce 09:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is not mentioned in the infobox. Sources in the article itself state that the freeway has ramps continuing to Avondale. DirtyHarry991 (talk) 09:01, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @DirtyHarry991: I don't think that the infobox needs any changes. Remember, it like the lead is a summary of the article, not a replacement for it. Sometimes, that means omitting fine details to keep things concise. As a quick summary, the terminus in the infobox is fine, and the article body expands upon it appropriately.
