Lane Closures Wednesday on Elliott Avenue West
SEATTLE – Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 4, starting at 8 a.m., a Seattle Department of Transportation crew will begin repairing a severely damaged portion of Elliot Avenue W between W Mercer Place and W Prospect streets. During the work, which will involve replacing 18 inches of concrete and asphalt, the crew will block off the two right lanes northbound. Because of the time required to cure the new 12-inch thick asphalt, the right curb lane will remain closed overnight. Curing time allowing, the right lane will be re-opened to traffic by midday, Thursday, November 5.
The Seattle Department of Transportation builds, maintains and operates Seattle's $12 billion transportation infrastructure. To further Mayor Nickels’ goal to get Seattle moving, the department manages short- and long-term investments in streets, bridges, pavement and trees, that better connect the city with the region.
