Side street closures during demolition and paving As we move along the corridor, there will be instances when we will need to demolish and rebuild the roadway in front of side streets. During this time, you can expect no access to or from Delridge Way SW. We will notify residents if there are any anticipated restrictions to specific properties.
NOTICE: Parking restrictions during side street closures and construction
While we complete this work, please continue parking in designated parking spots along the street or in personal driveways if applicable. People who park their vehicles near No Parking signs (temporary or permanent), in the right-of-way near road closure signs, or near driveway and alley entrances are subject to ticketing or towing. This includes parking on narrow streets such as SW Edmunds St, Cottage Pl SW, and 22nd Ave SW near Longfellow Creek.
Safety is our top priority and we need to maintain access to neighborhoods for emergency vehicles.
REMINDER: Businesses along the corridor are open during this work. Please follow posted detour signs as you visit these businesses.

As part of this project, we will be upgrading the roadway throughout the corridor. The roadway above has been partially demolished and is getting prepared for paving.
