Please note, On Friday, October 25, Seattle Public Utilities and Mercer Corridor Project crews will work to perform emergency sewer line repairs on Mercer Street near Eight Avenue North. Due to the sewer line’s position beneath the roadway, eastbound Mercer Street will be fully closed during this work. The closure will begin on Friday, October 25 at 11:59 p.m. to Monday, October 28 at 5:00 a.m. During the closure:
- Eastbound Mercer Street will be fully closed to traffic between Fifth Avenue North and Ninth Avenue North. Travelers heading east from Fifth Avenue North should take Harrison Street to eastbound Broad Street to re-connect with Mercer Street. More information about alternate routes during construction may be found at: http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/mercercorridor.htm.
- Westbound Mercer Street, Broad Street, SR 99 and the I-5 on- and off-ramps at Mercer Street will remain open during the weekend work.
