Construction on new landscaped median island starting soon
We are excited to share design details for the new landscaped median on 15th Ave W/NW between NW 50th St and NW 54th St. This median will help calm driver speeds and make it easier to walk, roll, or bike around the neighborhood. Construction for the landscape median is starting as early as March 2025.
Work continues north of the Ballard Bridge on 15th Ave NW between NW 51st St and NW Ballard Way. Crews are continuing seismic retrofit work on the Leary Way Bridge as well.
As always, Ballard businesses are open during construction. Please support them by shopping locally!
The Ballard Bridge will remain open until further notice. We will share more information as we work to coordinate the remaining maintenance work on the bridge.

Crews continue to work along 15th Ave NW between NW 51st St and NW Ballard Way. This construction will upgrade ADA accessible ramps, rebuild sidewalk corners, install upgraded traffic signals and cameras, improve storm drainage, and repair the sidewalk and roadway in select areas. At NW 51st St, crews continue electrical and signal lighting work for the new pedestrian and bicycle crossing.
Crews are also continuing work to strengthen and improve earthquake safety on the Leary Way Bridge. There will be partial sidewalk and lane closures related to this work. Driving lanes between NW 50th St and Ballard Way NW will continue to be restricted to demolish and build new concrete roadway panels.
