	Montlake Cut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Montlake Cut is the easternmost section of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, which passes through the city of Seattle, linking Lake Washington to Puget Sound.
		It is spanned by the Montlake Bridge, a bascule drawbridge.
		Most of the land on the north shore of the Cut is occupied by the University of Washington, its medical school to the west and its stadium parking lot to the east; residences and a recreational trail occupy the south bank, which is part of the Montlake neighborhood.

	Montlake History by Jim Gould
		Geographically Montlake is situated at the natural crossroads north of the center of Seattle, where any path leading north must pass the narrow isthmus between Lake Washington and Lake Union, and at the easiest east to west passage between the lakes must go.
		Known as the Montlake area since 1909, the boundaries are roughly the Montlake Cut (with University beyond) at the north, the Arboretum (with Broadmoor beyond) to the east, Interlaken (with Capitol Hill beyond) south and south west, and Portage Bay and "Five Corners" (Roanoke beyond) to the west.
		Montlake is renowned for its ability to rally civic support, but its greatest defeat was at the hands of the interstate highway system.

		If traffic on the two bridges is counted separately, the City might have to start denying building permits to projects North of the ship canal as early as 2005.
		But if, as the city assumes, the University Bridge is a viable alternative to the Montlake bridge, and the two bridges are counted together, then the combined capacity is well short of triggering the GMA.

		The proposed bridge, being considered by the SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Project team, would eliminate the current Montlake interchange and create a new six-lane interchange adjacent to the Arboretum.
		Traffic south of the Montlake Bridge, in the Shelby-Hamlin neighborhood, would decrease by an estimated 46 percent, while traffic on the ramps leading from the Arboretum to SR520 would increase by 49 percent.
		Traffic on Montlake would have a peak afternoon volume equivalent to 90 percent of the volume carried by SR520 at Portage Bay, and 45th Street east of Montlake would have a peak volume 83 percent of SR520 volume.

		Our bridge inspection team in Washington State provides a service that is critical to maintaining operations and safety of a wide variety of bridges throughout the state.
		While we were inspecting movable bridges for many years prior to the passage of U.S. federal regulations that require highway bridge inspections every two years, the passage of that requirement brought on an increased level of movable bridge inspections.
		The majority of the bridge machinery is original, with the exception of the rack pinions and span lock drives that have been replaced.

	The Seattle Times: Opinion: A soaring vision for Highway 520
		We agree with state officials that a new, wider, safer floating bridge across Lake Washington is necessary, and that the part of Highway 520 currently propped up on hollow concrete columns is seismically compromised.
		Without the new bridge we propose that makes a direct connection between Highway 520 and light rail, buses from the Eastside would either get stuck crossing the Montlake Bridge or struggle on Interstate 5 and surface streets, unable to use the downtown Seattle transit tunnel, which will eventually be converted to rail-only use.
		It is the same length as the main bridge we propose, also carries six lanes with shoulders, and was built in less than half the time the state plans for Highway 520.

		The state says the four-lane span, which opened in 1963, is vulnerable to windstorms and earthquakes and must be replaced for the safety of the 115,000 vehicles that cross it each day.
		Since winter, Seattle's Montlake neighborhood and others clustered around the bridge's western end have rallied for the state to build a more direct connection between a future 520 span and a planned Sound Transit light-rail station near the University of Washington Medical Center.

		Reasons for studying the new options are to narrow the highway through the Portage Bay area, improve transit connections, reduce the impact to nearby neighborhoods and preserve future options for high-capacity transit.
		Options under consideration on the Seattle side of the bridge include eliminating the Montlake Freeway transit stop, building a high-level bridge across Portage Bay, creating a Pacific Street Interchange near the University of Washington campus and building a second Montlake Bridge.
		Delay of the draft EIS will have little effect on the long-range timetable to replace the bridge since work is not projected to begin until about 2012 and the phased construction would take several years to complete.
