West Seattle road-work update: 35th SW paving, round 2

(Added: Photo courtesy Deb)
The second round of 35th SW repaving has been accelerated – the Morgan-to-Juneau plan originally mentioned for next week – according to this update just in from SDOT:

Paving crews from the Seattle Department of Transportation are working on 35th Avenue Southwest between Southwest Morgan Street and Southwest Juneau today and tomorrow, weather permitting.

They had planned to close part of the street, leaving one lane open in each direction from 8:30 a.m. 5:30 p.m. each day. They have now decided to keep one southbound lane on 35th Avenue Southwest closed overnight for safety reasons. One southbound lane will remain open. If weather allows, they plan to complete paving the street tomorrow.

P.S. While we’re on the topic of 35th – next week is the meeting launching the safety project, 6:30 pm October 22nd @ Neighborhood House’s High Point Center (backstory here).

OMG Finally!! With this and Orchard rebuilt last year I might be able to avoid having to look at AWD cars at the auto show this weekend. My poor Fit can’t handle the streets since moving to this part of the city.

Texting drivers will rejoice, this will let you continue speeding down 35th but with a lower probability of typos!

They have started by tearing up part of the asphalt half of the roadway (East side or North bound) and have not yet touched the potholed and bumpy cement side (West side or South bound). Does anyone know if they are redoing the cement or just the asphalt side? It would be a shame, as the cement is REALLY loud with all of the cars and trucks bouncing around between slabs that don’t line up.

Sorry, comment time is over.
