Georgetown to Downtown Safety Project Update

Crews recently completed the first phase of work along Airport Way S. We reconfigured the road to accommodate the future protected bike lane and other design elements that aim to improve safety for all travelers.

*As soon as Monday, November 25 (typical work hours)*


* Crews will remove sidewalk and roadway pavement to begin improving underground utilities at the *southwest corner of the Airport Way S and S Lucile St intersection*
* Crews will remove sidewalk and roadway pavement to begin installing storm drain improvements at *the intersection of Airport Way S and S Edmunds St*

*What to expect during construction:*


* *Pedestrian access will be maintained*
* *Access to businesses will be maintained*
* Typical work hours are from Monday to Friday, starting at 9:00 AM and finishing at 3:00 PM
* We will avoid work and traffic control during the peak hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
* We may need to temporarily change the traffic flow to accommodate the construction work.
* There will be temporary restrictions on parking.
* Some of the work activities might be noisy. This includes using backup alarms for safety, heavy vehicles, and power tools.
* Some construction may require temporary changes to bus routes. Visit the King County Metro website [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/rider-tools/service-advisories?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] for rider alerts.

Construction work at the Airport Way S and S Lucile St intersection is expected to continue through February 2025. We will continue to post bi-weekly construction updates on this webpage and the project listserv through construction.
