During the week of July 13, drilling work will close the multi-use trail along Alaskan Way South between South Royal Brougham Way and South Dearborn Street for the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement Program.

Crews will drill three holes in the multi-use path that runs adjacent to the Alaskan Way Viaduct, according to Emily Neff, communications staff member for the state-run project.

What to expect:

- The section of the multi-use path between South Royal Brougham Way and South Dearborn Street will be closed approximately Monday through Friday (July 13-17).

- Detour routes will be clearly identified; bicycle traffic will be diverted to Alaskan Way South, and pedestrian traffic will be diverted across the street to the sidewalk on the west side of Alaskan Way South.
 
- Signage will be placed near the path one day in advance to notify cyclists and pedestrians about the closure and detour. 

- Excavation will take between three and five business days to complete; all work will occur between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. 

- When drilling is complete, the surface of the multi-use path will be restored and detour signage removed. 

The drillings on the multi-use path are part of a series of drillings that will be completed throughout the summer. A map and schedule for this work are available on our Web site.

All borings are planned to be completed by the end of September.
