FOX ISLAND BRIDGE UPDATE 🚧
There’s been a LOT of speculation floating around lately, so I wanted to share some of the biggest takeaways from a recent county presentation our local REALTOR® association attended so we can help keep people informed with accurate information.
Here’s the short version👇
• The current bridge is considered SAFE today and is inspected every 2 years
• A replacement bridge IS expected eventually because it no longer meets modern standards
• Earliest possible construction timing would likely be around 2031 (and delays are very possible)
• Construction is estimated to take about 3 years
• Fox Island residents will NOT be solely responsible for funding the project
• Multiple bridge options are still being studied, including different bridge lengths and possible roundabouts
• Current estimates show 5–10 parcels potentially impacted, but no specific properties have been identified yet
One of the biggest takeaways?
A LOT still hasn’t been decided yet - including tolling, taxes, assessments, and final bridge placement.
There will also be opportunities for public feedback through future open houses and community meetings.
If you live on Fox Island (or are considering buying or selling there), this is definitely something to keep on your radar.
The county provides information on their website with up to date information.
