The city paved 41 lane-miles, making $24.3 million in improvements to the Denny-Western-Elliott-15th Avenue corridor, Fifth Avenue through the heart of the business district, the Boren-Madison corridor and First Avenue South in south downtown.

Next year, Seattle residents will see work on First Avenue South, Second and Fourth Avenues through Belltown, Stewart Street and Fauntleroy Way in West Seattle.

The 2008 work by SDOT replaced asphalt surfaces and sections of failing roadway base. Pedestrian, bicycle and transit improvements were also part of each project.

In addition to the paving work on arterials, the city transportation agency continues resurfacing roads in neighborhoods across the city.
