The Fremont siphon pipelines, located beneath the Lake Washington Ship Canal in a concrete tunnel west of the Fremont Bridge, are almost 100 years old and at the end of their service life.
The meeting will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center (4272 Fremont Ave. N.). Community members can learn more about the project’s final design at the meeting, including construction areas, activities and traffic impacts in Fremont and Queen Anne.
The county will also share information about the final design of the new odor-control building. Community members can view the public art concept for the site and meet the artist.
Staff will be available to answer questions and talk about project-related plans and schedules.
Construction on the project is expected to begin in mid-2014.
King County also operates the Ballard and Montlake siphons, which run beneath the Lake Washington Ship Canal and convey wastewater from North Seattle to the West Point Treatment Plant in Discovery Park.
