ROAD WORK ALERT: Second Lowman Beach-area project starts this week

In addition to the pump-station work already under way on the south side of Lowman Beach Park, the King County Wastewater Treatment Division has another project starting this week: Sewer-pipe repairs that will start in the park and continue about a quarter of a mile north on the southbound side of Beach Drive SW. KCWTD says the work has to be done this time of year “when flows are lower and conditions are safer.” They’ll be working weekdays, 7 am to 7 pm, and while they don’t expect any interruptions in wastewater service, there’ll be some sidewalk closures and some alternating-lane traffic at times. The work is expected to continue into fall; once it’s done, road and park restoration will be done.

    I hope the park restoration includes some patch-up on the Murray Wet Weather Facility which is showing signs of age with missing and loose tiles.

    This work is not subject to the right-of-way construction moratorium for the FIFA World Cup™ that is delaying the Morgan Junction EV-charging lot project?

    Too bad they didn’t add a bathroom to that sewer project scope. Lowman really needs one.

      No thank you. Lack of bathroom is what keeps it from being too crowded. People come, eat a bite and watch the sundown, and leave. Perfect.

    Many of us would appreciate the work crews goi all night, and maybe entice the loud motorcyclists and vehicles leaving Alki that rev their engines go elsewhere.

Sorry, comment time is over.
