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

Construction will continue next week on Denny Way between Terry Ave N and Minor Ave N. 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.

Travel News for This Weekend

Seattle is a busy place in summer and there are many things happening this weekend to be aware of that can affect your travel plans. This weekend, the two left lanes of northbound I-5 near the Ship Canal Bridge will be closed 24 hours a day from 10 PM Friday, June 20, to 5 AM Monday, June 23, for construction. This is part of the Revive I-5 project. The downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel will also close for repair. You can read more about all the things that may affect your travel on the SDOT blog.
