When we tweeted that photo a few hours ago, we THOUGHT the work at 42nd/Alaska was continuing through tomorrow. But SDOT has just announced it’s stretching through Tuesday:

Crews from the Seattle Department of Transportation are restoring pavement at 42th Avenue SW and SW Alaska Street following work on underground utilities at that location. Their expected completion time has been updated to 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

During this work the crews are closing 42nd Avenue SW north of SW Alaska Street. Local access is permitted on the north end of 42nd at SW Oregon Street. Also, the bus lane is closed westbound on Alaska approaching 42nd and just through the intersection.

If you can’t tell from our photo, the free West Seattle Junction Association parking lot on 42nd *is* open – the “road closed” sign is only halfway up the block – and that’ll be especially important to remember on Sunday, when California will be closed between Alaska and Oregon 7 am-4 pm for the second in-the-street edition of the West Seattle Farmers’ Market (market hours are 10 am-2 pm).
