What's Happening Now?
Our contractor is wrapping up trenching work across NW Market Street and Ballard Ave. The crews will be hard at work in August to continue installation on the conduit and to perform curb ramp and sidewalk improvement work.
Construction on Leary Ave NW, between NW Dock Pl and NW Ione Pl, will also be starting. Continue reading below for more information.
 Crew members perform trenching work on NW Market St and Ballard Ave NW for new pipes and cables with the help of an excavator.
What’s happening in Ballard?
-
NW Market St between Ballard Ave NW and 22nd Ave NW (both sides of the street):
-
- Stormwater drainage improvements and electrical trenching for improved crossings. Some of this work will require some sidewalk demo so please make sure to use all pedestrian detours.
- Curb ramp improvements. The crews are scheduled to continue work on the crossing near NW Market St through early August. Pedestrians will have maintain access but may need to take slight detours.
- Sidewalk and bus zone improvements: Crews will work on select sidewalk repairs and update the bus zones on both north and south sides of NW Market St. Please see bus design changes here.
- Neighbors should expect to see lane reductions on NW Market St through August during non-peak hours (9 AM-3 PM), on weekdays and weekends. Parking restrictions along NW Market St is also expected for staging and construction activity. Please sign up for rider alerts if your transit stop is in this area.
- We are expecting that access to stores and businesses will still be available during their open hours. Please continue to shop and support Ballard businesses.

Leary Ave NW
- Between 20th Ave NW and NW Market St:
- Crews will continue trenching to update the drainage and installing electrical conduit for future pedestrian crossing improvements. This involves digging trenches to lay down pipes or cables underground. Neighbors should expect to see work on this intersection off and on through the Summer and Fall.
- Between NW Dock Pl and NW Ione Pl:
- Crews will begin their work on sidewalk, curbramp, and bus zone improvements as soon as August 5. Community members can expect new paving and larger bus bulbs in both directions of Leary Ave NW. This will require sidewalk demolition, electrical trenching, and curb work. Pedestrians will be directed to use detours down to Ballard Ave NW.

What’s happening in North Aurora?

These lane reductions are expected to extend through most of August.
What’s happening in Fremont and Westlake?
While civil work—like Watermain Utilities, pavement upgrades, and sidewalks—in Fremont won’t begin until early 2025, community members may continue to see crews doing some short-term prep work before major construction occurs. Please note, there may be temporary traffic impacts.
Westlake Ave N construction could begin as early as Fall 2024.
