It is another busy week as concrete reconstruction work around the California Avenue Southwest and Fauntleroy Way Southwest intersection begins again on July 13. Crews will work on the south side for five days, wrapping up by July 17 (weather permitting), according to the Seattle Department of Transportation.

Traffic at this intersection will once again be reduced to one lane in each direction to accommodate the work zone and provide sufficient turning movement for large vehicles.

A uniformed police officer will be on site at California Avenue Southwest during work hours and the afternoon peak to offer assistance with the temporary lane configuration changes, pedestrian crossing and to keep traffic moving.

In addition to the concrete reconstruction at California, crews will grind off the top layer of asphalt on the east side of the roadway between Southwest Holly Street and Southwest Edmunds Street next week.

Moderate construction noise and dust is expected as well as the removal of on-street parking on the east side of the roadway. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction throughout this area. When the grinding is complete, crews will work from south to north along the east side repairing the concrete base pavement under the asphalt.

Temporary cross street and driveway interruptions are anticipated. Crews will work directly with affected businesses to restore access as quickly as possible. There will also be some turn prohibitions to keep traffic moving through the project area.
