RapidRide J Line Header

Our RapidRide J Line project will make it easier and more convenient for you to get around the University District, Eastlake, South Lake Union, and Belltown. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to class at the University of Washington, visiting the doctor, or shopping at local businesses, these upgrades will help you travel faster and more reliably.

As part of the project, we’ll upgrade streets, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, streetlights, and traffic signals. We’ll also add protected bike lanes and replace the water main on Eastlake Ave E. These upgrades will support our local businesses, make it easier for you to get to housing, and help create safer, more connected neighborhoods for everyone.

"*We are working in many locations at once. Our work involves heavy machinery, loud noises, vibrations, and dust.

University District Construction 

*Paving and bus stop closure on Roosevelt Way NE* 

Starting as early as next week, we will begin demolishing and paving on the west side of Roosevelt Way NE between NE 41st St and NE 43rd St. One southbound traffic lane will stay open during this work, which is expected to last several weeks. If you are riding a bike, you may need to use the sidewalks in some areas.

This work will require us to temporarily close the southbound bus stop near the UW Clinic at NE 42nd St and Roosevelt Way NE. Alternative stops are available at the following locations: 


* Southbound Roosevelt Way NE and NE 45th St (Stop #9605): Routes 31, 32, and 65 

* Westbound NE 42nd St and 8th Ave NE (Stop #5402): Routes 31 and 32 

* Eastbound NE Campus Pkwy and University Wy NE (Stop #9575): Route 65 

Our work on the west side of Roosevelt Way NE will also require us to move the UW Clinic’s shuttle bus pick-up and drop-off area to the north side of NE 42nd St. Please see the map below for more details.

*Driveway and alley closures on Roosevelt Way NE and NE 43rd St*

Starting as early as 10 AM on Friday, October 31, we will begin paving the street in front of the alleys on NE 43rd St between 11th Ave NE and 12th Ave NE after trash pick up is complete.  

Starting as early as 5 PM on Friday, October 31, crews will remove existing road panels in front of the driveway and alleys, then pour new concrete that will set over the weekend. During this time, Trinity Apartments residents will not have access to their parking garage. Traffic will not be able to access the alleys from NE 43rd St. We will reopen both the parking garage and alleyways before 6 a.m. on Monday morning. You should expect some construction noise during this work.  

*Paving on Eastlake Ave NE* 

We expect to finish paving the west side of Eastlake Ave NE between NE Campus Pkwy and NE 41st St early next week. One northbound lane will continue to stay open during the remaining work.  

As early as Friday, October 31, we will begin installing new sidewalks on the east side of Eastlake Ave NE and 11th Ave NE. This work will take several weeks to complete and require us to shift traffic around the area. Pedestrians will need to use the sidewalk on the west side.

*Electrical work and sidewalk installation on 11th Ave NE*

We have started installing new electrical lines under the east side of the intersection at 11th Ave NE and NE 42nd St. Crews will demolish one corner of the sidewalk at a time as they install the electrical infrastructure. We will direct traffic around the work area, and signs will guide pedestrians. This work is expected to take several weeks to complete.

*Sidewalk installation on 11th Ave NE * 

Crews are building new sidewalks on the east side of 11th Ave NE between NE 43rd St and NE 45th St. During this work, people on bikes can use a temporary northbound bike lane, and pedestrians can access the west sidewalk.

Crews dig trenches for the new water main pipes.

"Crews dig trenches for the new water main pipes. "

Beginning Monday, October 27, we will start demolishing the east side of Eastlake Ave E between E Howe St and E Boston St. This work is expected to take several months as we remove old pavement, dig several feet deep, and pour new concrete. Since heavy machinery will be in use, expect loud noises, vibrations, and dust. During this time, traffic will be shifted to the west side of Eastlake Ave E.

Pedestrians and bicyclists will be directed onto the frontage road around the work area. Our work will take place on weekdays between 7 AM and 5 PM. We will reopen the affected areas at the end of each workday, and we do not expect any weekend work.

*Sidewalk installation near the east side of Yale Ave N* 

We have started installing new sidewalks on the east side of Fairview Ave N near Yale Ave N and Aloha St. This work will require us to close the curb lane and direct pedestrians across the street. If you are walking near the work area, please follow our detour signs.
