TRAFFIC ALERT: SW Barton narrowed as repaving project begins

Thanks to the commenter who noted that the work has begun on SW Barton, on the fifth day after bus traffic was rerouted to Trenton and layovers to 25th SW. Previous communication suggested there might be more of a gap, but since this repaving-and-more work is scheduled to last until fall, the sooner they could get going, the better. Details of the project to rebuild the bus-battered pavement are here. As shown in our photo, the work is narrowing travel lanes on Barton alongside Roxhill Park and eastward to 26th, so plan accordingly if you’re headed that way.

    I drive Barton often to the QFC and last time I thought the road isn’t so bad, why bother with this giant repair job?  Well, we can only hope they finish Barton earlier than expected.  Next up Trenton will need fixing from the bus use.

      The left turn lane from eastbound Barton into QFC isn’t so bad.  But the lane that goes straight through there on eastbound Barton is horrible.

        Seriously… Glad they’re fixing it. Feels like driving over several curbs as you go straight along it.
