Details about the programs are found in Megaprograms Diversity and Inclusive Contracting Reports:
The I-405/SR 167 Corridor Program consists of a series of long-term improvements guided by the I-405 Master Plan and SR 167 Corridor Plan. For two decades, WSDOT has worked with cities, counties, federal agencies, transit agencies and community groups to develop consensus on a long-term vision for the multimodal redevelopment of this highway that resulted in the Master Plan.

The SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program has contributed to the safety of the region by replacing the aged, seismically vulnerable elevated with a large diameter tunnel. The tunnel opened in February 2019 and provides a direct route through downtown Seattle. At the north end of the Battery Street Tunnel, the Program is rebuilding streets to reconnect neighborhoods separated by SR 99 since the 1950s. Read more about the program here.
Total Budget: $3.3 billion

The Puget Sound Gateway Program is composed of two projects: the SR 167 Project in Pierce County and the SR 509 Project in King County. Both projects provide essential connections to the ports of Tacoma and Seattle, and will help ensure people and goods move more reliably through the region. Read more about this program here.
Total Budget: $1.88 billion
