Crews will continue to pour new concrete on the west end of NW Market St in the coming weeks as part of the Ballard Multimodal Corridor project.
Over the weekend, crews worked on Friday and Saturday nights to improve access into businesses along the north side of Market near 24th Ave NW. That work is likely to continue into the week.
SDOT says that this week, they hope to finish the bulk of the paving through the intersection of NW 54th St and Market. Demolition work will continue as crews remove existing pavement and start preparing for the new roadway panels.
Traffic control will continue, and traffic will remain reduced to one lane in each direction, with no parking permitted on either side of Market between 30th Ave NW and Ballard Ave NW.
Paving for the north curb lane on Market will begin next Monday, July 8th, starting at 54th St and moving east towards 24th Ave NW. Once finished, the crews will go back to 54th and pave the center portion of Market St, which SDOT says will be during the week of July 15.
Gravel or steel plates will be used to ensure access to parking lots along Market, but SDOT says some temporary closures will occur as work progresses.
Also on the agenda is the installation of new strain poles for the overhead trolley lines between 32nd Ave NW and 24th Ave NW. Traffic control may shift to accommodate the work, according to SDOT.
