Work will begin this week to replace approximately a dozen broken concrete panels in the roadway on NW 80th St between 6th Ave NW and 12th Ave NW. Crews hope to take advantage of the dry weather anticipated over the next couple weeks and complete this work before eastbound detours begin on NW 85th St in January.

During this work, traffic will be reduced to one lane on NW 80th St with flaggers directing traffic during the day in alternating directions. During non-working hours, temporary stop signs will be in place, and cars will have to take turns. This is like to create traffic congestion, especially at peak commuting times.
