The groundbreaking for the West Lake Union Improvement Project took place last week, kicking off the first phase of construction for the project. Beginning Tuesday, February 19th, crews will begin working at the north end of Westlake Avenue North.

Location: The first phase of the project will begin at the 2500 block of West Lake Avenue North, and end just south of Halladay Street.

Work: Next week, crews from Mid-Mountain Construction will begin storm sewer construction and removing track and trestle. In addition, you will continue to see Seattle Public Utilities water crews working to renew the water services located inside the project area.

Time: Work crews will be working from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There may be some weekend work.

Some General Impacts: Limited parking in the specific areas under construction; periodic limited access; lane closures and traffic flaggers on Westlake Avenue North; noise from large construction vehicles; increase in dust and mud during construction.

During construction, impacts to the surrounding community and thru traffic are to be expected. The City of Seattle requests patience and cooperation from travelers and residents. City departments will work with the community in efforts to minimize impacts and disturbances.

Construction for the West Lake Union Improvement project is expected to last approximately 12 months. Please note that due to the nature of construction, schedules are likely to change. City departments will keep the community informed of the most current schedule.
