Work to repave parts of Market St will create new headaches this week, with crews shifting their work to 24th Ave NW.
Starting today, northbound (left) turns from NW Market St onto 24th Ave NW will not be allowed, and the west crosswalk at 24th Ave NW and Market St will be closed.
SDOT says the closures will allow crews to start conduit work on the west side of the intersection.
On the upside, crews have completed the roadway, trench, sidewalk and curb work on the north half of 28th and Market, meaning that intersection has now fully reopened.
The work on pole foundations between 28th and 24th will continue through next week as crews make their way west towards NW 54th St.
King County will install temporary trolley poles east of the 24th/Market intersection — the temporary poles will allow crews to intercept existing trolley wires and replace the poles that support them along the full length of the project.
As early as next week (September 3rd), the north half of the 24th/Market intersection will be completely closed as crews demo and prep for paving work. More details to come on their schedule and the detours to follow.
