Rainier Ave S Phase 4 Improvements Construction Update
Expect congestion at Rainier Ave. S. and S. 2nd St. starting June 30
Beginning Monday, the intersection at Rainier Ave. S. and S. 2nd St. will temporarily operate as a 3-way stop for the next month. Uniformed Police Officers (UPOs) will be stationed during the day to help direct traffic and ensure safety while work is underway on the traffic signal and rebuilding the concrete road over the Seattle Public Utilities waterlines.
Suggested routes to consider when commuting:
- Northbound on Rainier, traffic could take Lake Ave. S.
- Southbound on Rainier, traffic could take Shattuck Ave. S.
Additional Road Impacts
- South Tobin Street intermittent daytime closure is ongoing through Friday, June 27.
- Nelson Place NW full daytime closure for paving from Monday, June 30 for roughly a week.
Lane closures will increase significantly as paving and build-up phases of construction continue. We will do our best to notify the public of any closures within 24 hours.
Please note: Paving work is subject to weather conditions. Local access will be maintained during these temporary closures, and temporary barricades will be set up for safe passage.
Getting around during construction
As we head into the busy summer season, please know that local events may further impact traffic. For the latest information, we recommend checking the City of Renton events and Visit Renton calendar to help plan your trips accordingly.
For all traffic impacts for the week, visit rentonwa.gov/traffic. We recommend using GPS systems for the fastest route to your final destination.
Thank you again for your understanding as we work toward long-term improvements for the community.
We will make every effort to maintain driveway access. If any closures are necessary for upgrades, property owners will be notified in advance. We appreciate your patience as our team continues to make progress on this project.
Temporary crosswalks and access points will be provided as needed until the full sidewalk installation is completed.
Please follow all pedestrian and traffic controls as work progresses.
