State Route 510 (SR 510) is a state highway in Thurston County, Washington. The 13 miles (20.9 km) long highway extends southeast from an interchange with Interstate 5 (I-5) in Lacey to SR 507 in Yelm. SR 510 roughly parallels the Nisqually River, the border between Thurston and Pierce counties, between the Fort Lewis and Nisqually Indian Community area to Yelm.

The roadway was built by 1916 as a connector from

Yelm-Tenino Trail was built over the Northern Pacific line in 1993 and a bypass
is being constructed around Yelm.

Route description

SR 510 begins as Marvin Road at exit 111, a

Yelm-Tenino Trail, a 7.4-mile (11.9 km) long rail trail in operation since 1993,[11] and ends at First Street, signed as SR 507, which continues southeast as Yelm Avenue.[1][12]

History

SR 510 began as an unsigned county-maintained road that ran from the

1964 highway renumbering; US 99 and US 410 also became Interstate 5 (I-5) in 1968.[2][18][19]

SR 510 between I-5 and Pacific Avenue was reconstructed and widened in late 2003, with the addition of a roundabout at the Pacific Avenue intersection.[20] The I-5 interchange was replaced by a diverging diamond interchange that began construction in October 2018 and opened in August 2020.[21][22] The interchange was the first diverging diamond constructed in Washington and is estimated to cost $72 million, with funding provided by the state legislature's 2015 Connecting Washington package.[23]

State Route 510 Alternate, also known as the Yelm Loop, is a partially completed bypass of Yelm. The first, 1.17-mile (1.88 km)[1] section opened to traffic in October 2010 and cost $4.3 million to construct.[24][25] The 120-foot (36.58 m) wide, two-lane highway begins at a roundabout with SR 510 near the current Mudd Run Road intersection and travels east through a residential and industrial area, ending at Cullins Road.[10] The bypass was designed in the 1990s in response to increasing traffic congestion and was funded by the Washington State Legislature in 2009.[24][26]

The second phase of the Yelm Loop project, which would finish the loop and extend it to SR 507, remained unfunded after the completion of the first phase. The state legislature's 2015 "Connecting Washington" transportation package will fund the $67 million second phase beginning in 2019.[27]

Major intersections

The entire highway is in Thurston County.
