This week, crews continued concrete work, including curbs, driveways, sidewalks and ramps on NW Market and NW 54th streets. Crews also continued pole foundation work along the corridor.

Upcoming work
This schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change.
Crews will not be working on Monday, November 11 in observance of Veteran’s Day.
As early as Tuesday, November 12, westbound traffic will shift to the south side of NW Market St between 24th and 26th avenues NW to accommodate work on the north side of the street. Eastbound traffic will also switch to the south side after work is complete in the center lane.
On the south side of NW Market St, upcoming work includes curb preparation and concrete pours.
Next week, crews will apply the new channelization markings on NW Market St and NW 54th St. We expect this work to wrap up by the end of next week.
Next week, crews are scheduled to pour the remaining pole foundation on the north side of NW Market St. Crews will also continue to patch pole foundations.
On NW 54th St, sidewalk and curb work is scheduled for next week. Crews will pour sidewalks and ramps, as well as prepare and pour curbs. Crews will also continue to install new pole foundations. We will continue to work with businesses to coordinate driveway paving.
Sidewalk work will cause an increase in pedestrian impacts. Please follow pedestrian detour signage placed along the project corridor.
As work continues along the project corridor and limits space for cyclists on the road, please remember to share the sidewalk and be aware of your surroundings.

Street Name Change
As of November 4th, the City of Seattle renamed a block of NW 54th St to help reduce confusion for emergency service providers. There were previously two intersections with the same street names: NW 54th St and NW Market St, 1.5 miles apart. Duplicate names create confusion for emergency response dispatchers and can delay response. The new name is "NW Locks Pl" in the location shown below on the image below.
