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
  • Route 8 Bus Stop Updates
  • 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 and Westlake Ave. 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.
