Dayton Street Utility Improvements

Dayton Street 3rd to 9th Ave Utility Improvements

Project Limits

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

One-way traffic on Dayton St will now travel westbound
Dayton St will continue to be one-way between 3rd Ave and 5th Ave, but the direction of traffic has been reversed. Traffic is now traveling westbound toward the waterfront while crews replace utilities on the other side of Dayton St.

The 4th Ave and Dayton St intersection will be closed August 20-21
During this closure:
 ·   Through traffic will be restricted
 ·   Access to businesses, driveways, and parking lots will be maintained
 ·   The sidewalks at the 4th Ave and Dayton St intersection will be closed;   pedestrian detours will be in place

Looking ahead:
·    The 5th Ave and Dayton St intersection will be closed for construction August 26-29. Please stay tuned for additional details next week

Thank you for your continued patience as we make progress replacing the aging and undersized utilities.

Intermittent work in the alley between 4th Ave and 5th Ave through mid August
Work will resume in the alley between 4th and 5th Ave. Crews anticipate completing work as soon as the week of August 19.  During this work: 

·        Local access to the alley will be maintained from both the north and south

·        Access to driveways and parking lots will be maintained

·        There may be some access delays as crews direct traffic through the work area

 

Community Transit buses will be running on alternate routes around work zones. Please visit Community Transit’s website for current rider alerts and routes: https://www.communitytransit.org/alert

Estimated Schedule:

  • Design was completed at the end of 2018

  • Phase 1 (3rd Ave S to 5th Ave S) construction will begin in May 2019
