A stretch of northbound State Route 529 at Marine View Drive in Everett is closed due to a human-made hole in the roadway. Road crews are performing emergency maintenance near the Steamboat Slough Bridge. They are repairing a hole that formed on the road after someone dug a tunnel under the roadway, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
The hole is about 1 foot by 1 foot wide on the surface, but below it's 4 feet wide and 3 feet deep, according to the WSDOT. A WSDOT official said the hole is more similar to a cave than a tunnel, and they are unsure if someone as living inside. Traffic is being diverted using the Marine View Drive off-ramp, and there's no estimate of how long the closure will last. Drivers traveling north are urged to use an alternate route., Everett Fire Department crews reached the end of the 45-foot tunnel on I-5 in Everett and determined that no one was inside.
