Our RapidRide J Line project will make it easier and more convenient for you to get around the University District, Eastlake, South Lake Union, and Belltown. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to class at the University of Washington, visiting the doctor, or shopping at local businesses, these upgrades will help you travel faster and more reliably.

As part of the project, we’ll upgrade streets, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, streetlights, and traffic signals. We’ll also add protected bike lanes and replace the water main on Eastlake Ave E. These upgrades will support our local businesses, make it easier for you to get to housing, and help create safer, more connected neighborhoods for everyone.

Here’s what is included in this email update: 


* No construction Labor Day weekend
* University District Construction
* Eastlake Construction
* Fairview Ave N Construction
* Boats Afloat Show

No construction Labor Day weekend

Crews will not work between Saturday, August 30, and Monday, September 1, during the Labor Day weekend. We will resume work activities on the morning of Tuesday, September 2.

University District Construction

We are working on several activities in the area, including:


* Paving on the east side of Roosevelt Way NE at NE 43rd St. This work requires a lane closure and traffic shift, so people biking will need to use the sidewalks.
* Building pole foundations on 11th Ave NE from NE 41st St to NE 43rd St. This work requires us to temporarily remove parking along 11th Ave NE and close sidewalks where we are working.
* Pouring road panels on NE 43rd St between Roosevelt Way NE and 11th Ave NE. During this work, we will move the northbound University of Washington shuttle bus stop to a temporary position just south of NE 43rd St.
* Paving the east side of Eastlake Ave NE between NE Campus Pkwy and NE 41st St. We will also pave the west side of 11th Ave NE north of NE 41st St. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in both areas. Please see the map below for more details.

Eastlake Construction

*Electrical work on Eastlake Ave E at Harvard Ave E and E Allison St*

Starting September 2, we will install new electrical lines at the intersections of Eastlake Ave E with Harvard Ave E and E Allison St. We will need to dig trenches across the intersections.

*Paving work along Eastlake Ave E between E Allison St and E Shelby St*

We will start paving the east side of Eastlake Ave E between E Allison St and E Shelby St as early as this Tuesday, September 2. Crews will demolish the existing concrete and pour new concrete. This work is expected to last about three to four weeks. You can expect lane shifts, vibrations, dust, and loud noises during this time. Working hours are typically from 7 AM to 5 PM, but we may begin as early as 4 AM to allow enough time for the new concrete to cure and to minimize heat-related impacts. Our team will notify businesses and residents about any driveway impacts.

*Opening Harvard Ave E and closing E Allison St*

Crews wrap up paving on Harvard Ave E.

"Crews wrap up paving on Harvard Ave E."

As soon as September 11, we will open Harvard Ave E between Eastlake Ave E and E Allison St to northbound and southbound traffic. At the same time, we will close E Allison St between Harvard Ave E and Eastlake Ave E.

Local access to driveways and alleyways on E Allison St will be available from Harvard Ave E. Please be aware that crews may temporarily block these areas as they complete their work. We will notify impacted properties of any upcoming closures.   

*Water main replacement on Eastlake Ave E*

Crews prepare to install new water main pipes.

"Crews prepare to install new water main pipes."

We continue to install a new water main along Eastlake Ave E between E Hamlin St and E Edgar St. To the south, we are also installing the new water main between E Newton St and E Lynn St. We will work on the east side of the road and shift traffic around the construction. This work involves heavy machinery and demolition, so expect loud noises. Most work will be during the daytime, but you can expect some nighttime and weekend work. We will inform residents and nearby businesses about any impacts to driveway access and water outages. 

*Concrete pours on Eastlake Ave E between E Garfield St and E Howe St*

We will begin pouring concrete on the east side of Eastlake Ave E between E Garfield St and E Howe St on Tuesday, September 2. Typical work hours are from 7 AM to 5 PM; however, crews may start as early as 4 AM. Starting early helps prevent heat-related issues. We will return in a few weeks to pave driveways, and our team will coordinate with businesses and residents to schedule this work over a weekend.

*Paving on Eastlake Ave E between E Galer St and E Garfield St*

We are nearly finished paving the east side of Eastlake Ave E between E Garfield St and E Galer St/Fairview Ave E. On Friday, September 5, crews will begin demolishing road panels in front of driveways in this area, with new concrete poured and set over the weekend. We have coordinated our work with the businesses in the area and during this time, residents and businesses will not have driveway access. We will reopen access to the driveways early on Monday morning so that businesses can run their operations normally. Once this work is complete, paving on the east side of Eastlake Ave E between E Galer St and E Garfield St will be done. Paving requires heavy machinery and demolition of the existing roadway, so please expect loud noise.  

Fairview Ave N Construction 

*Frontage road closure near Fairview Ave N and Aloha St*

We continue to install an underground utilities system beneath the road parallel to Fairview Ave N on the west side, between Valley St and Yale Ave N. Crews have moved work to Aloha St and will progress towards the south. The frontage road will be closed between Aloha St and Fairview Pl N, but Aloha St will remain open. These closures will only occur during daytime work hours – the frontage road will reopen at the end of each workday. Access to businesses will be maintained throughout this work.

*Work on the east side of Fairview Ave N between Aloha St and Yale Ave N*

We are continuing to install new electrical lines, light pole foundations, and sidewalks on the east side of Fairview Ave N between Aloha St and Yale Ave N. This work will require us to relocate the bus stop and close lanes. We will also detour pedestrians around the work, which is expected to take up to four weeks to complete.

On the night of Friday, September 5, crews will begin demolishing the pavement in front of Aloha St. Please expect loud noise during this time. We will work during the daytime and overnight on the weekend to pour and set new concrete. Crews will keep a single lane at Aloha St for as long as possible before closing access to the street from Fairview Ave N on Friday night. Aloha St is expected to remain closed until Monday morning.

We will maintain at least one lane of traffic in both directions along Fairview Ave N, but please follow all detours and directions from flaggers. Pedestrians will need to detour around the work zone using the west side of Fairview Ave N.
