80th & Greenwood intersection completed, construction and detours on 85th to begin in January

If you’ve driven down Greenwood Avenue North lately, you’ve surely noticed the rebuilt intersection at North 80th Street. SDOT crews rebuilt that entire intersection, along with textured crosswalks and new sidewalks.

Textured crosswalks at the rebuilt intersection of North 80th Street & Greenwood Avenue North, as crews finished up sidewalk work two weeks ago.
The year-long repaving project to fix 85th Street between 15th Avenue NW in Ballard and I-5 begins in earnest in January, with eastbound detours between 15th Avenue NW and 8th Avenue NW. Project Manager Jessica Murphy tells us that SDOT will have more detailed schedule information from the contractor in the next few weeks, and will update the neighborhood with details.
