UPDATE: Paving work on California Avenue SW in south Morgan Junction

2 PM: Thanks to Mike Munson for the photo and tip! Crews are repaving California Avenue SW between SW Holly and SW Frontenac [map], with work scheduled at least through tomorrow, so take note if you’re headed that way. We’re checking with SDOT about the extent of the work and what’s next on the paving schedule for West Seattle.

ADDED THURSDAY EVENING: Here’s what SDOT says: “The California Ave SW project is a mill and overlay from SW Holly St to SW Frontenac St. The project will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 is expected to be finished tomorrow, 7/25. Phase 2 is currently scheduled for 7/31 – 8/1; but the schedule could shift. SDOT constructed pedestrian improvements at the SW Willow St & SW Mills St intersections in advance of the paving project.”

What about the repaving of Admiral at the Fairmont bridge ? Doesn’t appear that they’ve done work there since painting the railings 2 weeks ago. I see on the sdot page they’re repairing cracks UNDER the bridge they say don’t impact the bridge, but nothing about repaving the broken up blacktop.

We reported long ago that repaving the bridge wasn’t part of the project. Unless they’ve changed the scope, which they have in other ways.

  Thanks. Typical lame SDOT.

It would be stupid if when the bridge is done its not looking brand new. Complete the make over. It’s taken this long it an should be like driving across a new bridge. Don’t you think?

Sorry, comment time is over.
