A reader wondered why the highway had a lane closure despite not seeing work done. Crews were waiting on the weather. With gold-colored shovels and delivered dirt, city, county and state officials heaved scoops of earth Tuesday to kick off work to dramatically shift traffic flow in south Marysville. They celebrated the start of a $123 million project that has three main pieces: ■ Extend the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane on northbound I-5 from Everett to Marysville; ■ Build a northbound ramp from I-5 to Highway 529, which becomes State Avenue; and ■ Build a southbound ramp from Highway 529 and State Avenue to I-5.
