Due to forecasted weather conditions, the Ballard Bridge closure scheduled for September 13 through September 16 is cancelled. The bridge will be open all weekend. The expansion joint installation that we were planning requires dry weather so it can properly set. The current weekend weather forecast predicts too much rain for us to complete the scheduled work. The next closure is scheduled for September 27 through September 30. More information about the Ballard Bridge closure and how to get around is in SDOT’s blog post
We recently finished paving 15th Ave NW north of NW Market St and in the coming weeks we will be paving the intersection of 15th Ave NW and NW Market St. We will continue sidewalk repairs and curb ramp upgrades between NW Market St and NW 53rd St, and will extend work to NW 52nd St.
As always, Ballard businesses are open during construction. Please support them by shopping locally and check out this week’s featured business: Wildwood Spirits Co. More about them and upcoming construction below.
Crews continue to work on 15th Ave NW between NW Market St and NW 53rd St and will extend their work area next week to NW 52nd St. Through this construction we will upgrade ADA accessible ramps, rebuild sidewalk corners, install upgraded traffic signals and cameras, and repair the sidewalk and roadway in select areas.
Crews are also planning overnight, weekend work to pave the road at the intersection of 15th Ave NW and NW Market St. Crews anticipate grinding the asphalt on the night of September 28 and paving the road on the night of October 5.
