Georgetown to Downtown Safety Project Update

Crews have been making steady progress on completing the protected bike lanes on Airport Way S. We rechannelized the road to accommodate the future protected bike lane and other design elements that aim to improve safety for all travelers. You will begin to see the bike lane fully take shape during the next few weeks, along with other pedestrian and safety improvements in the project area.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see the following construction activities in the area:


* Pouring concrete protected bike lanes on 6th Ave S from S Bradford St to S Spokane St
* Installing improvements to the roadway, sidewalks, and curb ramps at Airport Way S and S Lucile St and at 6th Ave S and S Bradford St
* Installing electrical and signal improvements at the intersection of Airport Way S and S Lucile St and 6th Ave S and S Spokane St
* Pouring new sidewalks and ADA ramps at the intersection of 6th Ave S and S Spokane St

*What to expect during construction: *


* *Revised truck detour to S Lucile St: *Right and left turns to S Lucile St remain closed. Oversized vehicles will now detour to Industrial Way S and 4th Ave S. Signage will be placed north of Industrial Way S to inform southbound drivers. Please see the map below for details:* *
New freight vehicle detours to S Lucile St
* The northbound through-lane on Airport Way S will be reduced to a single lane 24/7. We recommend commuters driving northbound to detour to 4th Ave S before S Lucile St.
* Pedestrian access will be maintained. *Pedestrian detours may be longer than usual*
* Access to businesses will be maintained
* Typical work hours are from Monday to Friday, starting at 9:00 AM and finishing at 3:00 PM
* We will avoid work and traffic control during the peak hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
* We may need to temporarily change the traffic flow to accommodate the construction work.
* There will be temporary restrictions on parking.
* Some of the work activities might be noisy. This includes using backup alarms for safety, heavy vehicles, and power tools.
* Some construction may require temporary changes to bus routes. Visit the King County Metro website [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/rider-tools/service-advisories?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] for rider alerts.

Construction work at the Airport Way S and S Lucile St intersection is expected to continue through April 2025. We will continue to post bi-weekly construction updates on this webpage and the project listserv through construction.

During construction, you will see us making the following changes:


* *Two-way protected bike lane *on the west side of the street from Airport Way S and S Lucille St to S Nevada St and 6th Ave S
* *One-way protected bike lanes *on 6th Ave S from S Nevada St to S Forest St
* *Two-way, center turn lane *on 6th Ave S from south of S Forest St to S Spokane St, making it safer and easier for vehicles to enter and exit driveways
* *S Spokane St and Airport Way S*: New traffic signal, signalized bike crossing, and bike ramp
* *S Lucile St and Airport Way S*: New signalized bike crossing, ADA curb ramps, and refreshed crosswalk markings
* *All-way stop *on 6th Ave S at both the intersections with S Alaska St and S Nevada St 
* *Raised bus stop *on the west side of Airport Way S at S Edmonds St
* *Parking removal *on the west side of 6th from Alaska to Industrial to allow for two-way freight movements.
