Airport Way South Viaduct Open House on July 28
The Airport Way South viaduct over the Argo Railroad Yard has seen some better days; large loads and huge traffic volumes have caused the bridge “significant distress”.
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is working on fixing the bridge’s problems – fixes include replacing the viaduct’s north and south approaches and seismic retrofitting and structure rehabilitation work on the mainspan of the viaduct.
To get this done, the viaduct is being completely closed for about 12 to 14 months, detouring traffic onto 4th Ave S. and East Marginal Way.
SDOT is hosting an open house to talk about the project’s current status and detail their upcoming plans – if you’re interesting in learning what’s going on and speaking with project staff join them July 28 from 6 to 8 pm at the Seattle Design Center’s 3rd Floor Conference Room 370. The Seattle Design Center is located at 5701 – 6th Ave. S.
