Dear Community Members,
We want to remind you that this evening we are hosting a virtual online open house to discuss construction starting in the Fremont and Westlake Ave neighborhoods for the Route 40 Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor Project.
This project will maintain and modernize streets, replace aging utilities, and improve transportation infrastructure in some of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods and business districts. Construction is scheduled to start in Fremont and along Westlake Ave in the next few weeks and will continue throughout the end of the year.
Led by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) in collaboration with Seattle Public Utilities and King County Metro, this project aims to maintain and modernize our vital infrastructure and enhance bus travel in Seattle, making it faster, more reliable, and safer for everyone. The project will involve significant infrastructure upgrades in the Fremont and the Westlake neighborhoods, including the replacement of a 100-year-old waterline under Fremont Ave N, between N 34th St and N 35th St (Just a block north of the Fremont Bridge).
To learn more about what to expect during construction, please visit the project webpage which provides detailed information on construction activities and construction locations in Fremont and along Westlake Ave. You can also read our SDOT blog post.

- Drainage work: This involves digging trenches to help manage water flow
- Signal pole foundation excavation: This work involves digging for the pole foundations prior to when we order custom signal poles which takes a while to build and to make sure we know there are no underground obstructions
- Trenching for conduit: This involves digging trenches to lay down pipes or cables underground
- Sidewalk curb bulb out: This involves making the curbs stick outward for safety or accessibility
- Mill and fill overlay: This is when the top layer of the road gets removed and replaced with new asphalt
The construction timeline is always subject to change depending on weather conditions and materials availability. We are committed to keeping you informed and maintaining open communication throughout the remainder of this project.To learn more about the project and designs, visit our online open house.
