 August 2026
Crews have finished installing liners in the sewer pipes near the northeast corner of Lowman Beach Park and along Beach Drive SW.
As early as Monday, August 17, crews will work on the north end of the project area. They will install a valve underneath a metal hatch and restore the street panels. Flaggers will direct traffic while this work takes place.
Most of Lowman Beach Park remains open. Crews will restore each work area at the end of the project.
Thank you for your understanding and patience while we complete this work.
What to expect
- Part of the sidewalk on the west side of Beach Drive SW is closed until the end of August. Park entrances and other sidewalks remain open.
- Work hours are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 7 pm. The contractor may occasionally work later to finish tasks.
- No interruption to wastewater service.
- Limited street parking along Beach Drive SW during posted hours. Please follow parking instructions.
- Construction noise is expected. You may also notice noise or vibration when vehicles drive over steel plates in the work area. The contractor will remove the steel plates after pipe work is complete.
- Temporary fencing around the work area at Lowman Beach Park.
King County’s Murray Force Main Rehabilitation Project ensures reliable wastewater service will continue for West Seattle residents. Crews will line a section of a pressurized sewer pipe called a “force main.” This work must take place during the dry season to avoid service disruptions. Road and park restoration will occur this fall and early winter after work is complete.
 Construction area shown on the map is approximate.

WTD is developing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. As we create it, we are asking for input. This survey asks about accessibility of our products, programs, services, and spaces. We will use the information shared to identify and prioritize steps to increase accessibility for everyone.
People of all abilities are welcome to take the survey. You do not have to identify as having a disability to provide a response. We want to hear from people with disabilities. We also want to hear from the family, friends, and caregivers for people with disabilities. Many people experience barriers to access, and accessibility improvements benefit everyone. We welcome everyone who has experienced our programs, services, and spaces to take the survey!
Survey closes September 13, 2026.
