Stay Informed! Denny Way Paving Project Update
Nighttime paving on Denny Way coming up next week
 Our construction work on the Denny Way Paving Project continues. We're paving almost 12 blocks of Denny Way to make using Denny Way easier and better for residents and commuters alike. Our work includes asphalt paving, sidewalk upgrades, bus stop changes, new pedestrian ramps, areas of widened sidewalks that shorten crossing distances, new stop bars painted on the street, and new "no turn on red" signs.
Here’s what you'll find in this email update:
- What We're Doing Next Week
- What You Need to Know About Upcoming Lane Closures
- Nighttime Work on Denny Way Beginning!
- Temporary Updates to Route 8 Bus Stops
- How You Can Stay Up to Date on the Project
What We’re Doing Next Week
Construction will continue next week on Denny Way between 5th Ave N and Westlake Ave N, including overnight grinding work. Our work will reduce the number of lanes on Denny Way and close some parts of the sidewalk. If you are travelling in the area, watch for changing traffic patterns, and follow any signs that direct you around work zones.
We know this will make using Denny more of a challenge. Thank you for your patience while we work. When we’re done working, you will be able to cross the street more easily because of the newly extended curbs and pedestrian ramps. You'll also have an easier time getting to the bus or nearby businesses.

We are beginning our nighttime paving work on Denny Way!
The paving work will require our contractors to remove the top two or three inches of existing asphalt from Denny Way using a grinding machine. We will be doing this work at night to reduce traffic impacts during the day. We will work in areas where more people live earlier in the evening on both nights to reduce noise impacts as much as possible. We will be closing lanes on May 14 and May 15 for this work.
Between 5th Ave and Westlake Ave – Eastbound and Westbound Lane Closures
-
May 14: Two eastbound lanes will be closed from 7 PM to 5 AM for grinding work.
-
May 15: Two westbound lanes will be closed from 7 PM to 5 AM for grinding work.
Route 8 Bus Stop Updates
We're building new ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps at Denny Way and Westlake Ave. This will result in temporary bus stop closures between May 13 and May 23 for Route 8 buses near Westlake Ave. You may catch the bus at either Denny Way & Dexter Ave or at Denny Way & Fairview Ave. Thank you for your patience while we work to upgrade access to transit for people with disabilities.
