University District Drainage Work 

We have started drainage work on NE 43rd St and will be at two locations. The first location is at the intersection of NE 43rd St and 11th Ave NE, where we will be upgrading drainage inlets and closing the eastbound lane for one block between 11th Ave NE and 12th Ave NE. The other location is at NE 43rd St and Roosevelt Way NE, beginning as soon as November 22, with work anticipated to take four days and include pedestrian detours and a temporary shuttle stop relocation. Once this work is complete, we anticipate beginning drainage work at NE 42nd St and 11th Ave NE, and NE 41st and 11th Ave NE.  

During this work, please anticipate detours, noise, and vibrations. Once the work is complete, all detours will be removed, and any closed lanes will be patched and reopened.

Construction Schedule and Locations 

In recent weeks, we have received frequent questions from business owners and residents throughout the project area asking when we expect construction to begin near them and if construction is in one area or working in a certain direction. Construction crews are currently focused on three locations: 


* On 11th Ave NE and Roosevelt Way NE in the University District
* On Eastlake Ave E between Fuhrman Ave E and E Allison St
* On Eastlake Ave E between E Blaine St and E Galer St

We anticipate our crews will continue their drainage work and that they will begin to work in northbound direction from E Blaine St northwards towards E Lynn St.  

Work will not be concentrated in one area during the project. We anticipate work continuing throughout the project area in various locations so that we can complete the overall project in the most efficient way. We will continue to meet weekly with our construction team to learn where work will be, and we'll share that information in this email and on the project website [ https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/transit-program/transit-plus-multimodal-corridor-program/rapidride-roosevelt?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]. We will also notify anyone who may be directly affected by the work. 

Online Drop-in Sessions
