Seattle Department of Transportation will repave Greenwood Avenue North between North 112th and 125th streets on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Work will start at 7 p.m. both nights and last until 6 a.m. One travel lane in each direction will be maintained.

• Tuesday night, September 27, the southbound lanes between N 112th and N 125th streets will be paved.
• Wednesday night, September 28, the northbound lanes between N 112th and N 125th streets will be paved.
• Motorists will NOT be able to enter or exit driveways for several hours, until the newly laid asphalt has had time to cool. For motorists who are impacted, please consider parking on side streets if you need to come and go during the affected time period.
• In some locations, on-street parking adjacent to the paving will be prohibited until the repaved lanes have reopened. (A-frame signs will be placed in these locations in advance of paving to inform impacted motorists.)
• On Tuesday night, it is estimated that the southbound driveways between N 120th and N 125th streets will be closed from 7 p.m. until midnight, while the southbound driveways between N 112th and N 120th streets will be closed from midnight until 6 a.m.Wednesday morning. These hours are estimates that could change depending on how the paving process progresses.
• On Wednesday night, it is estimated that the northbound driveways between N 120th and N 125th streets will be closed from 7 p.m. until midnight, while the northbound driveways between N 112th and N 120th streets will be closed from midnight until 6 a.m.on Thursday. These hours are estimates that could change depending on how the paving process progresses.
• The work is expected to create noise, dust, vibration, light, and asphalt odor.
• Emergency vehicles will have access if needed.

Seattle Department of Transportation crews have closed the entry road into Carkeek Park again today to finish repaving work. The road should reopen by 5 p.m.

Bicycle and pedestrian access will be curtailed on the entry road on May 13th but unpaved trails into and through the park will be open as usual.

The repaving of NW Carkeek Park Road is part of a larger repaving project by SDOT in the immediate surrounding neighborhood, including 8th Ave. NW, NW 114th Pl., NW 116th St., 6th Ave. NW and NW 117th St.

The repaving project is expected to be completed over a period of two weeks beginning May 6, 2014 and ending on Friday, May 16th. Typical working hours are between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

Just a reminder that Seattle Department of Transportation has closed all eastbound lanes of 85th Street between 3rd Avenue NW and Greenwood Avenue North to replace a concrete panel at Palatine Avenue. The closure started at 9 a.m. today and will last until sometime Wednesday evening.

One westbound lane remains open.

Eastbound Metro buses will be rerouted. The 48 Express will travel via NW 90th Street, 2nd Avenue NW, NW 92nd Street, 1st Avenue NW, NW 90th Street and Greenwood Avenue North to its regular route, using all posted bus stops along the revised routing. (The westbound 48 Express is not affected.)

The 48 local will travel via 3rd Avenue NW, NW 90th Street, Greenwood Avenue North and North 85th Street to its regular route, using all posted bus stops along the revised routing. (Westbound 48 local is not affected.)

Southbound Route 5 Express towards downtown will travel via NW 90th Street, 2nd Avenue NW, NW 92nd Street, 1st Avenue NW, NW 90th Street and Greenwood Avenue North to its regular route, using all posted bus stops along the revised routing.

Road crews will close eastbound 85th Street between 3rd Avenue NW and Greenwood Avenue North on Tuesday and Wednesday to replace concrete panels at Palatine Avenue North. This is part of the final wrap-up work of last year’s repaving of 85th from Ballard to I-5.

The road closure will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday and last through Wednesday evening, weather permitting.

Traffic will be detoured to North 80th Street via 3rd Avenue NW and Greenwood Avenue North. One westbound lane will remain open. Police officers will assist traffic. Drivers should expect delays through that area.

Eastbound Metro buses will be detoured to North 90th Street; westbound buses will remain on North 85th Street.

Seattle Department of Transportation has finished major construction on the two-mile stretch of N/NW 85th Street from 15th Avenue NW in Ballard to I-5, and on Greenwood Avenue North between North 85th Street and North 73rd Street.

In less than a year, road crews laid down 203,946 square feet of concrete roadway, more than 7,234 tons of final asphalt pavement, installed 232 new ADA-accessible curb ramps, 68,080 square feet of sidewalk, and more than 100 new stormwater features such as drainage facilities and catch basins.

But crews are still doing some wrap-up work here and there.

A PhinneyWood reader emailed us yesterday to ask why crews were out jackhammering at Greenwood and 83rd yesterday. Here’s what SDOT told me:

They were adjusting a utility casting that was a little low and needed to be brought up to the roadway height. While the 85th Paving Project is mostly complete, there is a substantial amount of wrap up work that will happen this fall to button up all the loose ends. It is pretty typical to have wrap up work after major construction is complete.

Seattle Department of Transportation had planned to return North 80th Street to its original configuration next weekend, but has moved the work up to this weekend, because the forecast is better than expected.

North 80th Street has been the detour route for nearly a year as SDOT repaved 85th Street from Ballard to I-5. The roadway between Linden Avenue North and Burke Avenue North was restriped to allow two lanes in the eastbound direction, but now road crews will return the roadway to its original configuration.

That work is scheduled to happen from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Drivers may experience some short-term delays until the work is done.

Seattle Department of Transportation removed the last of the eastbound detours on North 85th Street today, meaning drivers and Metro buses are no longer detoured onto North 80th Street.

SDOT is finishing up a few bits and pieces of roadway construction through the end of the month.

Next weekend (Oct. 20-21), crews will remove the temporary traffic and parking changes on 80th and will restripe the roadway for two westbound lanes and one eastbound lane. The left-turn restriction onto Aurora Avenue North also will be removed. (This work was originally scheduled for this weekend, but forecasted rain is delaying it until next weekend.)

Drivers heading eastbound on NW/North 85th Street have had to deal with detours for nearly a year now, as Seattle Department of Transportation reconstructed the roadway from Ballard to I-5. Now, SDOT says the final detour stage will end on Thursday.

The eastbound detour between Aurora Avenue North and Wallingford Avenue North will be removed after Thursday’s morning commute. All lanes will be open by mid-day. That also means Metro’s eastbound Route 48 bus will return to its regular route along 85th Street.

Once that detour is gone, SDOT will begin restoring the detour route of North 80th Street to its original configuration between Linden Avenue North and Burke Avenue North. That means the left-turn restrictions from eastbound 80th Street onto Aurora will be removed and the roadway will be restriped to allow two westbound lanes and one eastbound lane.

This week, SDOT crews will be doing minor wrap up work all along NW/North 85th Street, including some electrical and storm drainage work, adjusting traffic signs, reinstalling bike racks, and final adjustments to the new asphalt and concrete roadway and sidewalks. All major construction will be done by the end of October.

Seattle Department of Transportation crews will restore an asphalt pathway on the east side of Third Avenue NW between NW 104th Street and NW 105th Street on Tuesday and Wednesday. The pathway was torn up for work on underground drainage facilities.

Crews will excavate and repave the pathway from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. At times, the roadway will be reduced to one lane, and pedestrians will have to use the sidewalk on the west side of Third Avenue NW.
