Matt will provide an update on the two projects replacing the SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct along Seattle’s waterfront: replacing the viaduct’s southern mile, near Seattle's port and stadiums, with a new side-by-side roadway and replacing the viaduct’s central waterfront section with a bored tunnel beneath downtown Seattle. He will provide information on the upcoming construction milestones and measures planned to mitigate the impact to those who must travel to or through the construction zone.
8:00 p.m. Update – Central Waterfront/Seawall Project, Steve Pearce, SDOT Project Manager
With the completion of the Deep Bored Tunnel, what are current plans to replace the existing surface Alaska Way? How will this roadway be configured to accommodate the needs of general traffic, freight, bikes, as well as those who must cross this roadway to access waterfront destinations? What is envisioned for how ferry traffic to the Colman Dock will be accommodated? What is the estimated cost of the entire project; and how will it be financed? Will surface Alaska Way continue to provide an accessible and efficient means of travelling through this corridor; esp for those of us in northwest Seattle?
