Construction Update: Denny Way Paving Project
Upcoming work on Denny Way including lane closures
 Construction is continuing on the Denny Way Paving Project. The project will pave almost 12 blocks of Denny Way to improve mobility and enhance the overall travel experience for residents and commuters alike. Work includes asphalt paving, sidewalk improvements, bus stop changes, new pedestrian ramps, curb bulbs that shorten crossing distances, new stop bars painted on the road, and new "no turn on red" signs.

Anticipated Work in the Week Ahead
Crews are working on Denny Way between Taylor Ave and Dexter Ave and between 7th Ave and Dexter Ave, with eastbound and westbound lane closures anticipated in the coming weeks. Our team is continuing to take out parts of the old sidewalk and parts of the road, check utility locations, update drainage, and then pour new sidewalk, new concrete road sections, and build new ramps for pedestrians.
 Taylor Ave and 6th Ave – Eastbound Lane Closures (4/5 to 4/7) - Vine St Closure
- Work will start on Saturday at 6:30 AM with one eastbound lane closed from 6th Ave to Taylor and two eastbound lanes closed between Taylor and Vine Street. The eastbound traffic will be shifted to one of the westbound lanes. Closures will remain in effect until Monday morning at 5 AM when all lanes on Denny Way will be open to traffic during peak commute hours.
- Vine Street will be closed over the weekend.
 7th Ave and Dexter Ave - Eastbound Lane Closures (4/4 to 4/7)

- Work continues Saturday with one eastbound lane closed from 6:30 AM to 3 PM and two eastbound lanes closed from 3 PM on Saturday to 8 AM on Sunday for roadway demo, concrete and hydrant work. The eastbound traffic will be shifted to one of the westbound lanes.
- One eastbound lane will remain closed to allow concrete to be cured until 5 AM on Monday when we will open all lanes on Denny Way to general traffic for the Monday morning commute.
Taylor Ave and 6th Ave – Eastbound Lane Closures (4/7 to 4/11) - Vine St Closure

- One lane will remain closed until 5 AM Monday. We will open all lanes to general traffic for the Monday morning commute.
 What to Expect During Construction
Work will happen during the daytime and asphalt paving will primarily occur at night, from 7 PM to 6 AM, Monday through Friday. There will be occasional weekend work. During construction, there will be lane closures along Denny Way, but one lane in each direction will remain open at all times. Sidewalk closures will occur, though pedestrian access will be maintained. Lane closures may last for 2-3 weeks at a time, and work zones will cover a few blocks at a time.

Initial work will begin on Denny Way between Taylor Ave and Dexter Ave. Our team will take out parts of the old sidewalk and parts of the road, check utility locations, and then pour new sidewalk, new concrete road sections, and build new ramps for pedestrians.
Things You Should Be Aware of During Construction
Construction will create some short-term changes to your area, including:
- You may notice noise, dust, smell, and vibrations.
- You may need to change your walking route while we work on sidewalks, but we will provide signage for you to follow.
- Your business matters to us and we will provide advance notification of work and any impacts in person and provide you with a direct contact for questions. We will maintain access to your businesses at all times.
- You’ll notice asphalt paving work between 7 PM to 6 AM Monday-Friday with some daytime and possible weekend work when needed.
- Some of your parking and loading areas may shift near work zones but we are working at night to reduce these impacts.
- If you are traveling along Denny Way, you may need to switch lanes around work areas. Signage will guide you on your journey.
