Rainier Ave. S. Phase 4 Improvements Construction Update

Road Impacts

Intermittent nighttime closures at S. 2nd St, Tobin St, Victoria St, Hayes Pl, Nelson Pl NW, and NW 3rd Pl are ongoing for final paving and asphalt overlay.
Uniformed Police Officers (UPOs) will be on site at intersections to assist with traffic flow from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Nighttime Construction Update

Nighttime construction is underway and will continue through mid-October for the final paving and asphalt overlay. The overlay adds a smooth top layer that evens out the surface, improves ride quality, and helps protect the roadway for years to come. Crews will work Monday through Friday morning, with occasional night work on weekends if needed.

Drivers should follow posted signs and closures and use extra caution when traveling through the area at night.
