West Seattle road work: Beach Drive paving next week

Another section of Beach Drive is in for paving work – according to this SDOT announcement received this afternoon:

SDOT paving crews plan to grind and pave the roadway on Beach Drive SW from Atlas Place SW to SW Juneau Street on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 18 and 19 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, if weather permits. All sidewalks and crossings will remain open. A single travel lane will be shared by both directions of traffic, with traffic flaggers assisting drivers through the area.

Earlier this year SDOT crews repaved an area of Beach Drive to the south of the current area. The section of Beach Drive between the two repaved areas will be repaved once work is completed to stabilize the slope.

The current work on Beach Drive SW is part of the annual paving program funded by the Bridging the Gap transportation initiative approved by Seattle voters in 2006.

    Thank god! I’ve been riding my bike down there daily and have almost crashed hitting some of the big holes and breaks in pavement. This is so very welcome.

    I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it…

    …but I saw the road signs in front of my house today, so it must be true.

    Thank God, indeed. I’m going to go to church.

    BTW, there are two bus stops (one in each lane) right in this area. Will they remain open, or do we need to use the ones adjacent to them ?

Sorry, comment time is over.
