04/24/2020 - Ballard Multimodal Corridor Construction Update

This week, crews wrapped up pole removal and foundation demolition on the south side of NW Market St.
Crews also continued with roadway paving, and sidewalk, driveway, and curb paving on NW 54th St. We expect this work to continue into next week.
 
Crews completed work on the bus shelter foundation near the Ballard Locks on NW 54th St and the foundation west of the intersection at 28th Ave NW and NW Market St. The stops will move to their permanent locations in the next couple weeks.
Upcoming work

Next week, crews will continue paving sidewalks, curbs, and ADA ramps along NW 54th St and the south side of NW Market St
. Crews will also continue with asphalt patching. This work is weather dependent and subject to change. Generally, paving crews are working eastward on the south side of NW Market St.
 
At the intersection of 28th Ave NW and NW Market St, crews will continue work on the southwest corner of the intersection and are scheduled to begin work on the southeast corner of the intersection next week. This work is weather dependent and subject to change.
 
Along the north side of NW Market St, crews will continue pole foundation demolition. Sidewalk paving work will follow at a later date.
 
Crews will be on site this Saturday, April 25 and Saturday, May 2 to continue paving work along the project corridor. General work hours are 7 AM to 6 PM.
 
SDOT is committed to completing the first phase of the Ballard Multimodal Corridor project and working to minimize construction impacts where possible. Remaining work includes pole removal and foundation demolition, roadway demolition and paving, vegetation and site restoration, and work near the Ballard Locks. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we continue to work to complete the project during this time. We will continue to provide updates as they become available.

As work continues along the project corridor, please remember to share the sidewalk and the road with pedestrians and cyclists, practice appropriate social distancing measures, and be aware of your surroundings.

At the City of Seattle, we are continuing to follow guidance from federal, state, and local leaders and our public health partners regarding COVID-19. State officials have determined that work on public works projects can continue during the Governor’s stay-at-home order provided that appropriate safety measures are in place.  

The Seattle Department of Transportation is continuing with essential transportation (public works) projects to the greatest extent practicable during these times. The health and safety of our workers and the public is our first priority. Our contractors have updated their Health and Safety Plans to incorporate best management practices with respect to COVID-19 throughout our construction work sites. If a situation arises where a contractor is unable to maintain these practices on a work site, or Gov. Inslee orders that work on public works projects must stop, the contractor shall temporarily suspend work until the work can be performed safely and legally. 

We will notify you if there are any changes to the project schedule or planned work.

You can learn more about COVID-19 at www.kingcounty.gov/covid.
