There will be some nighttime closures and road work around Lower Queen Anne this week as part of the east phase of the Mercer Corridor Project, according to SDOT.
The temporary intermittent night work (originally scheduled for last week, but delayed due to the weather) began last night, and will continue through Friday, December 3, however SDOT says the work may be extended into next week if necessary. Most of the work, they say, will take place between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. along the following streets:
- Mercer Street: Nighttime closures of two to three lanes of Mercer Street between Dexter Avenue N and Westlake Avenue N. No more than one lane of Mercer will be closed prior to 9:00 p.m.
- Broad Street: Nighttime intermittent restrictions of westbound Broad Street to a single lane near Ninth Avenue N.
- Terry Avenue N: Nighttime closures of Terry Avenue N between Mercer and Valley streets.
- Westlake Avenue N: Nighttime restrictions of Westlake Avenue N to one lane in each direction in areas between Aloha and Republican streets.
Beginning Monday, December 6, SDOT and King Country Metro will also implement new temporary bus stops in the project area, at the request of local residents who have been inconvenienced by stop closures due to the project.
Full details on the route changes can be found on the Metro website, www.kingcounty.gov/metro, in the “Alerts Center”. The following routes will be affected:
- Route 17: New southbound temporary stop on westbound Aloha Street near Eighth Avenue N.
- Route 30: New northbound temporary stop on Westlake Avenue N between Mercer and Valley streets. This is a joint stop with the Route 17. New southbound temporary stop on westbound Broad Street between Westlake Avenue N and Ninth Avenue N.
