Road work on SW Avalon Way between SW Yancy St and SW Genesee St
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 services connecting West Seattle to the rest of the city. We’re continuing construction for the repair and reconfiguring of 35th Ave SW to improve safety, accessibility, and comfort for all users.
On Friday, May 10 traffic will shift to the east side of SW Avalon Way from SW Genesee St to SW Yancy St as we prepare to work on the west side of the street.
Here’s what you can expect:
