Microsoft is paying $33M for a bridge. Okay, that sounds like a lot, but, the enhancements to the Overlake Transit Center station, namely a bike and pedestrian bridge across Highway 520, will go a long way toward connecting employees on opposite sides of their Redmond campus. The bridge will span the incoming light rail at Overlake Village rail station. The bridge is scheduled to open in 2020 while the light rail will begin service in 2023. [Seattle Times]
