press release:
The contractor working on the Spokane Street Viaduct Widening Project for the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has been able to reduce the number of overnight closures due to favorable progress on construction, and thus minimize impacts on drivers.

Previously the plans required the closure of the structure’s westbound travel lanes just west of I-5 for six nights. However, the closures planned for tonight (Friday) and Monday and Tuesday of next week have been canceled, and in addition to last night’s closure, there will be only two more closures needed, as follows:

Wednesday, December 21: 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning (Thursday, December 22)
Thursday, December 22: 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning (Friday, December 23)

These closures are needed to prepare for the upcoming shift of westbound traffic off of the existing structure and onto the newly built adjacent structure.

SDOT will continue to keep the public informed if this work schedule requires any changes.
