WA 539:
There have been plans for WA 539 to be widened to five lanes as far north as Ten Mile Road for some time, but now proposals describe an expressway continuing north through the rural areas. A study is also in place for a new I-5 access road to bypass Bellingham to be built either as an expressway or freeway. WA 539 would take over the new route.
WA 543:
WA 543, a short connector between I-5 and the Canada border, is a 2-lane expressway for its entire length. WA 543 is planned to become a 4 lane divided expressway for the entire length with a new signal at Boblet Rd and a new left side half interchange (south access only) at D St. The northern half would also have three northbound lanes to accommodate the British Columbia gateway.
WA 546:
WA 546 is proposed to be upgraded to a 4-lane expressway along its entire length. This upgrade is included in the 2003-2022 State Highway Plan.
WA 900:
SR 900 between Boeing Access Rd and 57th Ave S is a short expressway (about 1 1/2 miles long). The roadway is undivided with a 50 mph speed limit (the 50 mph speed limit starts at 80th Ave S in Renton, but this segment is not an expressway due to several driveways).

WA 900 also has a short expressway in Issaquah between SE Newport Way and I-90. The expressway is on the finishing touches for being widened from 4 lanes to 6 lanes divided with paved medians and curbs. The newly-widened expressway will also have multiple left turn lanes at major intersections. Speed limit 40.
