The work is expected to start on Saturday between 7:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. The lanes will remain closed on Sunday as the concrete hardens. The area will reopen before commuting on Monday morning.
-On Saturday from 6 a.m. we will also put missing delineators on Ost-Randweg SW between S Spokane St and S Atlantic St. Work is expected to last until 2pm.
-On West Marginal Way SW near Puget Way SW, the Urban Forestry crews will be working in the area of tree and scrub pruning from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. There are traffic disruptions on the southbound carriageway.
-This weekend we are working under the Western Randweg SW Improvement project. We start work at 6:30 a.m. and finish at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. This work is expected to have regular road closures on West Marginal Way throughout the weekend in both directions.
