Seattle's waterfront improvements continue with new lanes opening on Alaskan Way
SEATTLE - Traffic along Seattle's waterfront is expected to get a little less congested beginning next week.
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is expected to begin transitioning traffic along Alaskan Way to use the new southbound lanes between S Main and S King streets. The lanes are expected to be fully open by Monday, Nov. 15.
The new lanes have been in the works for two years as part of the Waterfront Seattle Program.
Beginning Friday evening, Alaskan Way will be reduced to one lane in each direction between S King and Columbia streets for final preparations.
Then on Monday morning, crews will move southbound traffic onto the new concrete lanes as well as open new features along the roadway meant to improve the experiences of pedestrians, bicyclists and bus riders.
