Starting as early as today and into next week a contractor working for the Seattle Department of Transportation will begin installing new dynamic (electronic) messaging signs at several locations to provide improved traffic information to travelers.

Crews will work from approximately 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, March 12 through Thursday March 18 starting at Fauntleroy Way SW and progressing down the list to 1st Ave South:

• Fauntleroy Way SW near 38th Ave SW
• 35th Ave SW north of SW Snoqualmie St
• 1st Ave S/ S Bennett St

Traffic lanes will be reduced at these locations to accommodate the construction. Expect delay and congestion. Motorists are asked to slow down and use caution when passing the work zone.

This work is part of SDOT’s Intelligent Transportation System improvements that will help manage traffic and keep travelers informed.

The finished signs will resemble the one pictured here on the SDOT Flickr page.
