Rainier Ave. S. Phase 4 Improvements Construction Update

Road Impacts

South Tobin St intermittent closures for grinding and paving through next Friday, August 22

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.

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.

Nighttime work

Nighttime work began on Monday, August 11, at the intersection of Airport Way and is expected to continue through the end of September. It is scheduled from Monday evenings through Friday mornings.

Planning your route

Please keep in mind that 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.

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 gov/traffic.
Visit WSDOT's website for upcoming closures on I-405.

Please follow all pedestrian and traffic controls as work progresses.
