We are excited to share that we have concluded our weeknight work on the Ballard Bridge, and it should be open to all until our weekend closures begin in September! In the meantime, we continue to work – including some weeknight construction – on 15th Ave NW. Please see the details below.
Thank you for your patience and remember, Ballard businesses are open during construction. Please support them by shopping locally!
 
Crews continue to work on 15th Ave NW between NW 58th St and NW Market St and starting early next week will extend their work area to the NW 54th St intersection. Through this work, crews will upgrade the ADA accessible ramps, rebuild sidewalk corners, install upgraded traffic signals and cameras, and repair the sidewalk and roadway in select areas.
The week of September 2, crews are planning overnight asphalt grinding on 15th Ave NW between NW 57th St and NW Market St to prepare for final paving. They will also dig a final trench for conduit across NW Market St on the east side of 15th Ave NW in preparation for upgraded traffic signals and cameras.
What to expect
-
Construction is typically scheduled Mondays – Fridays from 7 AM – 5 PM. The bulk of the overnight work will be from 7 PM – 5 AM.
-
Overnight work is noisy but within allowable noise levels. You may hear loud humming and a sound like a big vacuum. You may also feel mild vibrations.
-
We will close driving lanes on 15th Ave NW and NW Market St near work areas. There will always be at least one lane open in each direction. The turn lanes will remain open at intersections.
-
We will close the sidewalk in work areas. There will be detour signs in place to direct you around construction.
-
We will close NW 57th St, NW 56th St, and NW 54th St to thru traffic as needed between 17th Ave NW and 14th Ave NW. You will still be able to walk, roll, bike, or drive to businesses and homes on these streets.
-
We will temporarily move the D Line bus stops at 15th Ave NW and NW Market St. Please see bus stops for new locations and/or sign up for transit alerts.
-
We will temporarily change parking in some areas for construction staging and traffic control near work sites.
The remaining bridge work will be completed during the full bridge closures scheduled over several weekends starting in September. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post on the bridge closure schedule and how to get around if you’re walking, biking, driving, or taking transit in the area.
 Crews clean newly poured sidewalks and prepare planter strips and tree pits on the east side of 15th Ave NW north of NW 56th St.
