What to expect the week of September 28
We are currently working in all three zones at the same time, from north to south on Delridge Way SW. As our work zones shift you will see No Parking signs go up towards the southern end of the work zone and parking restored in the northern end of the work zone.
In each of the three work zones, travel lanes will be generally be reduced to one lane in each direction with restricted turns and from time to time you may expect flaggers to be operating one lane at a time. Please follow posted traffic signs.
Anticipated schedule changes due to wet weather this year This fall, we will continue demolishing and repaving the roadway, driveways and sidewalks throughout the project corridor. Due to the wet weather, we may need to make last minute schedule changes to paving activities which may include delaying paving activities or starting concrete paving pours as the weather allows. The weather-dependent nature of this work may also result in schedule shifts for driveway impacts. Residents will be notified of all schedule changes in advance. Continue reading to learn more about our demolition and paving work zones and schedule.
Please plan for these schedule changes and reach out to us if you have any accessibility concerns during this work. You can learn more about typical paving impacts at the bottom of this email. Thank you for your patience during construction.
