13 Jul Seattle City Light Street Closures

In addition to the construction happening on 1st Ave, SCL has some street closures that may affect residents and businesses:

Seattle City Light plans to have South Washington Street between 3rd Avenue and 2nd Avenue Extension back open today, Wednesday, July 13.  The block had been closed Tuesday as crews worked on a collapsed duct bank.  We will continue to need parking on the south side of the block, but traffic will be open in both directions.

For those of you that I was not able to speak with earlier in the day, this past weekend’s work to set the vault did not go according to plan.  During its installation we discovered several pieces of the custom-made vault walls were improperly fitted. Work was immediately stopped and the pieces sent back for reconfiguration.

The revised schedule will close Washington Street on Saturday, July 16, between 3rd Avenue and 2nd Avenue Extension during the day while the crane is used to move the vault into place. The street will be closed on Saturday only. Work will continue at the vault on Sunday, July, 17, and possibly Monday, July 18.  See our Construction Website update for additional information: http://seattle.gov/light/aboutus/construction/release.asp?RN=244 Thank you for your patience with this important work.
