Dayton Street Utility Improvements

Project Limits

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

5th Ave and Dayton Street intersection closed Thursday, October 10.

Crews plan to close the 5th Ave and Dayton Street intersection on Thursday, October 10 to remove an existing underground structure.

During these closures:

·   Through traffic will be restricted
·   There will be some short-term driveway access impacts. We will be contacting businesses in-person if their driveway access is expected to be impacted and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
·   The sidewalks at 5th ave and Dayton St intersection will be closed; pedestrian detours will be in place

Paving overlay on Dayton Street scheduled for Friday, October 11, weather permitting.

Crews plan to complete the paving overlay of Dayton Street from 3rd Ave to 5th Ave this Friday, October 11, weather permitting. Unlike previous paving work, crews will work on both sides of Dayton Street to complete this work. Please plan to park off of Dayton Street on October 11 to avoid delays getting in and out of driveways and parking garages between 3rd and 5th Ave during construction. During this work you may experience traffic delays throughout the day due to:

·        Intermittent road closures along Dayton Street.
·        Intermittent closures of the 3rd Ave and Dayton Street intersection and the 4th Ave and Dayton Street intersection lasting 1-2 hours.
·        Short-term driveway access impacts lasting 1-2 hours.

Please keep in mind that this work is weather dependent. Crews cannot place the pavement during rain events as the pavement will not cure properly. If there is rain in the forecast, work will be delayed. We will continue to provide updates on when to expect paving to occur.

Looking ahead: Phase 2

To decrease construction impacts for phase 2 in 2020 and improve work flow during that period, some low impact work, mainly trenchless with associated spot excavations, for the sanitary sewer is expected to take place on Dayton between 7^th and 9^th in November and December 2019. This work will require some construction traffic control resulting in minor delays, but traffic will remain 2 way and no intersection closures are expected.

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

Phase 1 (May-October 2019) and Phase 2 (2020)

Phase 1 of construction (Dayton Street from 3rd Ave S to 5th Ave S) will begin on May 13, 2019 and is anticipated to be completed in Fall 2019. Work during this phase will occur mostly between 3rd Ave S and 5th Ave S. Some sewer pipe rehabilitation work between 6th and 9th may be part of phase 1.

Traffic and pedestrian impacts

One lane of traffic, either eastbound or westbound, will be maintained on Dayton St during most of construction. Traffic control will be present ot direct people through the work area during construction.

Parking will be restricted in the work area

To provide safe working spaces for construction crews, there may be temporary intersection and/or block closures lasting for 1 to 3 days. We will notify businesses and neighbors ahead of these closures

Sidewalks and driveways will remain open except for short durations to maintain safety throughout the corridor

Phase 2 of construction (Dayton Street from 5th Ave S to 9th Ave S) will begin as early as Spring 2020 and last into Fall 2020
