Construction begins to repair & reconfigure SW Avalon Way to improve safety, accessibility, & comfort for all users.

 

SW Avalon Way and 35th Ave SW connect West Seattle to many local retail establishments and services. They’re also a major transit and transport route with service connecting West Seattle to the rest of the city. We’re beginning construction for the repair and reconfiguring of SW Avalon Way to improve safety, accessibility, and comfort for all users.

 

Starting April 15, 2019, we’ll demolish the east side of SW Avalon Way from SW Genesee St to SW Yancy St. This work is weather dependent and subject to change.

Beginning April 15, 2019, Crews will be surveying and demolishing SW Avalon Way from SW Genesee St to SW Yancy St. We will also be conducting utility work on the east side of SW Avalon Way at SW Genesee St. Work hours are typically on weekdays from 7 AM to 5 PM.

 

C L O S U R E | D E T O U R

The east side of SW Avalon Way from SW Genesee St to SW Yancy St will be closed to traffic. We will maintain one lane of traffic in each direction on SW Avalon Way from SW Genesee St to SW Yancy St.

 

L A N E   R E S T R I C T I O N S

On-street parking will be closed on both sides of the street. People driving will only be able to turn right onto SW Avalon Way. Pedestrian detours will be in place to maintain safety and mobility for people walking.

 

N O I S E

Expect loud noise, dust, and vibrations while crews are working.

 

T R A N S I T

Sign up for Metro’s Rider Alerts to stay up to date on stop relocations. If a stop is relocated or a bus is detoured, signs will also be posted along the corridor.

 

P R O J E C T   O U T C O M E

We’re repaving SW Avalon Way and 35th Ave SW between SW Spokane St and SW Alaska St. Repaving will make the street more comfortable to drive on and extend its useful life. The project will also:

 

  • Upgrade curb ramps
  • Make minor drainage system upgrades
  • Install protected bike lanes
  • Make bus stop improvements
