How Metro and Washington State DOT are keeping you moving through Kirkland during I-405 construction
Route 644 direct service to and from Kenmore/Bothell and Kirkland to Overlake
King County Metro Transit is working with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to help provide additional bus service to areas impacted by the project.
Metro Transit Route 644 operates during the peak commute hours to connect the Kenmore Park-and-Ride lot with the Overlake Transit Center via Finn Hill, Kingsgate, I-405, and SR-520. It operates southbound in the morning and northbound in the afternoon. See the Route 644 Map

Keep moving with new services and traffic information
The Washington State Department of Transportation and King County Metro Transit are providing expanded services to keep you moving, and traffic information so you'll know before you go:
Bike and ride
Bike to a park-and-ride lot and take the bus. Park-and-ride lots have plenty of bike parking, and all Metro and Sound Transit buses have easy-to-use bike racks.
Bridge the gap between home-transit-work
Metro VanShare provides commuter groups of three or more with a van and reserved parking at park-and-ride lots, to connect from home to the bus or from the bus to work.
Beat backups by using carpool lanes
Find or form a carpool, VanPool, or VanShare at RideshareOnline.com. Metro will even provide a van, maintenance insurance, and fuel for one low monthly fee.
Know before you go with real-time traffic information
WSDOT's online Traffic Flow Maps give you up-to-the-minute traffic information. You can also get real-time traffic information on your wireless handheld device.
Get traffic updates on the road
While on the road, look for electronic traffic information signs with current travel times and incident information. You can also tune your radio to AM 530 or call 511.
