The Seattle Department of Transportation plans to begin construction of 30th Avenue Southwest sidewalk improvements on Monday, April 6.

The sidewalk will be constructed on the eastern side of 30th Avenue from Southwest Brandon Street to the existing sidewalk at the top of the hill (just north of Southwest Juneau Street and High Point).  Some preparation work such as surveying will start later this week.

The construction is expected to take five to six weeks, depending on the weather.  For the duration of construction, 30th Avenue Southwest between Southwest Findlay and Brandon Streets will be closed to through traffic.  

A detour route will be signed for through traffic to use 29th Avenue Southwest.

Parking will be restricted in the area under construction. Access to driveways will be maintained.

Work hours will typically be from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Upcoming Construction Project
Seattle City Light will be moving the utility poles closer to the new curb on 30th Avenue Southwest between Southwest Findlay and Brandon Streets.  

This work will occur after the sidewalk project and is expected to take two months.  After the new utility poles are placed and the old utility poles are removed, the transportation department will return to fill in any gaps in the sidewalk that remain.
