All week, SW Orchard/Dumar has been closed between Delridge and (almost) 16th SW for work related to the Delridge Way Repaving Project. Now SDOT has announced closures on Orchard from Delridge west to Sylvan Way next month – it’ll be closed to eastbound traffic September 3-13, then to westbound traffic Sept. 16-27, and the yearlong project’s final phase will follow. The full SDOT announcement – with a map – is ahead:

For two weeks beginning September 3, Southwest Orchard Street between Sylvan Way Southwest and Delridge Way Southwest will be closed to eastbound traffic as crews rebuild the roadway. This closure will be followed by a two-week westbound closure as crews complete the opposite side. This work is part of the Seattle Department of Transportation’s Delridge Way Southwest Paving Project that is rebuilding much of Delridge Way Southwest from Southwest Orchard to Southwest Roxbury streets.

· September 3-13 eastbound traffic on Southwest Orchard Street at Delridge Way Southwest will be directed to use the following detour (please see map [above]):

o South on Sylvan Way Southwest

o North on Delridge Way Southwest

o East on Southwest Orchard Street

· September 16-27 – westbound Southwest Orchard Street traffic at Sylvan Way Southwest will be directed to use the following detour:

o South on Delridge Way Southwest

o West on Sylvan Way Southwest

o East on Southwest Orchard Street

Upon completion of this work, construction activity will move south to Delridge Way Southwest between Southwest Henderson and Southwest Roxbury streets – the final phase of the Delridge Way Southwest Paving Project.
