16 Feb SR 99 ramp changes to be discussed at this month’s viaduct meeting

On the third Thursday of each month, WSDOT and SDOT, in cooperation with the Alliance for Pioneer Square, host a public meeting to discuss plans to replace the seismically vulnerable Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall. The meetings provide project information and give neighbors an opportunity to comment and ask questions about how the viaduct replacement will affect the Pioneer Square neighborhood.

This month’s meeting is at noon on Thursday, Feb. 17 at the Klondike Gold Rush Museum (319 Second Ave. S.). It will focus on current construction to replace the southern mile of the viaduct, where crews recently rerouted the southbound SR 99 off-ramp from First Avenue S. to S. Royal Brougham Way.

On Feb. 18 we’ll close the northbound SR 99 on-ramp at Railroad Way S. for up to six weeks so it also can be rerouted to S. Royal Brougham Way. During this period crews will demolish a portion of the existing ramp. Neighbors can expect day and nighttime demolition noise to be louder than existing noise levels on First Avenue S.

Please contact Chad Schuster  if you have any questions or topic ideas for future meetings. Also, if you haven’t already, take a moment to fill out our neighborhood survey. Survey results are used to help us keep neighbors informed during construction.
