WEEKEND ALERTS

Highland Park Way/West Marginal intersection – This project continues with Saturday and Sunday work scheduled for 3 am-1 pm both days.

SW Alaska – Work this weekend and next week, announced by SDOT:

As part of Reconnect West Seattle and following our recent paving work on SW Alaska St, crews will be applying new pavement markings, including red lanes and “bus only” markings on the existing bus lanes. Red bus lanes help to improve compliance with bus-only restrictions and keep buses moving. Here is what is planned:

This weekend, August 21 and 22, SDOT crews will be updating the bus lane signs and remarking lane striping.The red bus lane material and the green cross bike markings will be installed starting the evening of the 24th and will last approximately 2-3 nights. Efforts will be in place to minimize traffic disruption. Most work will be happening at night. Drivers might be asked to hold for a short time while staging equipment or directed to shift lanes around the work area.
