Road work begins in Wallingford

The Seattle Department of Transportation has begun paving work on North/Northeast 45th Street earlier than originally anticipated.

The contracting crew is grinding the parking lane between Interstate 5 and Burke Avenue North through the remainder of this week, limiting parking on the side that is being worked on. The paving will take place Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5.

One lane of traffic will open in each direction at all times; the center turn lane will be removed for the grinding work.

Workers will then work on the outside lanes from Burke to Midvale avenues North or move to the center lanes between I-5 and Burke Avenue, depending on the weather.

The entire paving project along North 45th should be done by the end of June.[[In-content Ad]]
