Construction impacts in SODO
Sun, 03/08/2009
To completely rebuild a section of 1st Avenue South, a travel lane will remain open in each direction between South Stacy and Hanford Streets, with two lanes allowed in the northbound direction Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Parking may be inaccessible on either side of the street as crews install a new water main in the center of the roadway. Traffic and parking restrictions between South Stacy Street and Horton Street will continue from now until completion, scheduled for September 2009.
To accommodate the South Seattle Intermodal Access Project, the northbound lane of Occidental Avenue South will be closed at Edgar Martinez Way 24 hours a day for paving and sidewalk construction until March 13.
The left westbound lane and eastbound left turn lane of South Atlantic Street will be closed west of First Avenue South 24 hours a day for paving. Left turns from eastbound Atlantic Street onto northbound First Avenue South will not be permitted. A detour will be provided. These restrictions will also be in place until March 13.
Beginning March 11, crews will intermittently close one lane in each direction at the intersection of First Avenue South and South Atlantic Street from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. to install new traffic signal poles.
Currently eastbound lower Spokane Street is closed between First and Sixth Avenues, with a detour route North on First or Fourth to Lander. This eastbound closure will continue into mid-2010. In addition, the westbound right-turn lane on South Spokane Street between First and Second Avenue South may be temporarily closed for a few days each of the next three weeks.
Finally, until March 13 construction crews will reduce traffic to a single lane in each direction on South Royal Brougham Way from Alaskan Way South to First Avenue South for electrical line relocation. The lane closures will be in effect 24-hours a day. A single lane will remain open in each direction at all times.
