There’s new pavement at Terry and Valley.
Over the weekend, crews completed grading and paving at the intersection of Terry Avenue North and Valley Street, allowing access to Lake Union Park via Terry Avenue North to be re-opened.
This week, crews will continue to work on underground utilities on Valley Street, Broad Street, Ninth Avenue North and Westlake Avenue North, north of Mercer Street. Crews are also continuing construction on the north side of Mercer Street between Fifth Avenue North and Dexter Avenue North and the east side of SR 99 between Valley and Harrison streets.

- Continue building demolition and tree removal at the southeast corner of Mercer Street and Dexter Avenue North.
- Continue sidewalk work on the east side of Fourth Avenue North between Roy and Mercer streets.
- Continue sawcutting, sidewalk removal and conduit installation on the north and south sides of Roy Street between First Avenue North and Fifth Avenue North. Work will progress from west to east and will include parking lane closures while construction activities are underway.
- Continue pavement removal and grading on Westlake Avenue North between Valley Street and Ninth Avenue N, on Broad Street between Ninth Avenue North and Westlake Avenue North, and on Valley Street between Westlake Avenue North and Fairview Avenue North in preparation for rebuilding the roadway.
