Rainier Ave S Phase 4 Improvements Construction Update
S. 2nd St. Closed from Lake Ave. S. to Rainier Ave. S.
-
S. 2nd St will be closed for the next month
Suggested routes to consider when commuting:
- For Northbound traffic on Rainier, traffic could take Lake Ave. S.
- For Southbound traffic on Rainier, traffic could take Shattuck Ave. S.
Lane closures will increase significantly as embankment and 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
With the summer season upon us, 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 Renton traffic impacts for the week, visit rentonwa.gov/traffic. As part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening project, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has several closures this summer that may impact overall traffic flow. Visit WSDOT's website for upcoming closures on I-405.
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.
