Fourth Avenue - Jackson Street to Olive Way

September 18, 2009

Construction Begins Week of September 28

Expect Lane Closures and Parking Restrictions

The Seattle Department of Transportation and its contractor C.A. Carey Construction Company are making improvements to the Fourth Avenue corridor between South Jackson Street and Olive Way in Downtown Seattle

During the week of September 28, construction crews will begin work on Fourth Avenue between South Jackson Street and James Street.  Crews will move north towards Olive Way into the summer of 2010.

The project will reconstruct most of Fourth Avenue between S Jackson Street and Seneca Street, and replace selected concrete panels between Seneca Street and Olive Way.  The work also includes upgraded curb ramps, sidewalk repair, restriping of lane markings and minor drainage improvements.

The funding for this project is provided by the Bridging the Gap Transportation Levy approved by Seattle voters in 2006.

Originally scheduled for 2010 construction, this project was accelerated to create jobs and support the local economy.

What to Expect During Work

  • Lane closures
  • Pedestrian and vehicle detours
  • Parking and loading restrictions
  • Moderate construction noise and dust
  • Instances of weekday, weekend and night work
  • Regular notices with more location specific information during construction
  • Some of this work is weather dependant, and the schedule may be adjusted as the project moves forward
