SODO access to northbound Alaskan Way Viaduct resumes tonight

Three weeks ago tonight, much fanfare accompanied the start of demolition for part of the original Alaskan Way Viaduct (WSB coverage here), which more recently served as the northbound onramp to The Viaduct from 1st Avenue South in the stadium zone. Work on a temporary onramp was scheduled to be done by April 1st – but it’s so far ahead of schedule, the new temporary onramp is opening tonight! WSDOT says that by 7 tonight, they’ll open the newly complete “temporary detour onramp” to northbound 99, with access from Royal Brougham Way.

    That’s great news – good work. Under promise, over deliver!

    wow. that concrete won’t achieve a full cure until 28 days after it’s poured. i guess engineers get paid to know what they’re doing, though, and i applaud the crews for their hard work in getting that part of the project done so efficiently.

    thanks, guys!

Sorry, comment time is over.
