Work starting on Phinney Ave N and N 36th St as early as tomorrow

Fremont Project Area

Fremont project area: N 36th St between 2nd Ave NW and N 35th St, and Fremont Ave N between N 34th and N 36th St

Dear Fremont Residents and Businesses,

*Crews are set to begin construction on Phinney Ave N and N 36th St as early as tomorrow, May 16.* We will be performing stormwater work, trenching across roadways for conduit installation, and sidewalk and curb ramp upgrades. Neighbors can expect slight delays and detours for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists while crews trench throughout the workzone. Meanwhile, we are evaluating the need for additional work to address an issue with the existing trolley tracks beneath the pavement at N 34th St and Fremont Ave N.  

The previously scheduled water shut-off and full street closures on Fremont Ave N for Saturday, May 17, have been *canceled*. We will reschedule the water shutoff and street closures and share the updated timeline as soon as it's available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding as we ensure the project is completed safely and efficiently.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at Route40@Seattle.gov

Fremont Construction Information

Construction in Fremont started May 12, 2025 and will continue through 2025. To learn more about what’s happening in the Fremont neighborhood, please visit our webpage [ https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/transit-program/transit-plus-multimodal-corridor-program/route-40---transit-plus?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#materials ] and check out the construction area [ https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/SDOT/TransitProgram/Route%2040%20TPMC/Route_40_Fremont_Construction_Plans_Webapge.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] and construction activities [ https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/SDOT/TransitProgram/Route%2040%20TPMC/Construction_Scope_Definitions_Route%2040.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]. 

*Water Main Infrastructure Upgrades*

We're working with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) to replace a 100-year-old waterline under Fremont Ave N between N 34th St and N 35th St and inserting a new valve at Dayton Ave N and N 36th St. Completing the water main upgrades and the street upgrades at the same time will help reduce impacts to the community by coordinating major construction projects. This approach helps minimize travel disruptions, lower construction costs, and shorten the overall construction timeline compared to completing the projects separately.

When complete, the watermain upgrades are expected to:


* Improve capacity to deliver drinking water in your neighborhood
* Improve water system flow and pressure
* Ensure water service reliability and reduce disruptions by creating more backups in the system

*What to Expect During a Water Shut off:*

Water service impacts will vary based on construction progress and the location of infrastructure upgrades. Specific buildings in Fremont will experience disruptions at different times throughout the project and for varying durations as we complete these essential improvements.

You can learn how best to prepare for water main work by visiting  SPU's webpage [ https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/neighborhood-projects/water-outages/planning-for-outages?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] for tips on preparing for a water outage.  

*Advance Notifications*

We are committed to keeping you informed:


* Notifications will be shared via the project email list *at least one week in advance.* You can subscribe *here [ https://us-west-2.protection.sophos.com?d=govdelivery.com&h=0fd3e4c5e2be4591827bf154146cd519&i=NjVlMjQ4NzM0ODMzNjA1ZjY4NzdkMzc3&p=m&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVYvMXkb5y1rh_jmhCD6q3lAKUrO49ywWjW_y-N0Uq9DQw&t=dWw4Q05TeEhDaHRIYllVOWxSME1RejBJWW55M2hXMEVLellJUDB4QWdiaz0%3D&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9wdWJsaWMuZ292ZGVsaXZlcnkuY29tL2FjY291bnRzL1dBU0VBVFRMRS9zdWJzY3JpYmVyL25ldz9xc3A9V0FTRUFUVExFXzg%3D&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].*
* Flyers with detailed information will also be distributed to buildings that will be impacted *five **days before the scheduled shut off*.

Temporary bus stops during Fremont construction

As crews mobilize for work in Fremont, please note that buses will be rerouted around the active work zone to temporary stops for Routes 31, 32, 40, and 62. 

*Where will the temporary bus stops be?*

Temp bus stops
* The northbound Route 40 stop on Fremont Ave N will be rerouted to Fremont Pl N and N 36th St near the Lenin statue
* Routes 31, 32, and 62 buses that also use the northbound Fremont Ave N stop will have a temporary bus zone on N 35th St just east of Fremont Ave N.
* Southbound Routes 31, 32, and 62 buses will be rerouted from N 35th St to N 34th St via Stone Way N. There will be a temporary bus zone on the west side of Stone Way N between N 35th St and N 34th St
* The southbound stop on Fremont Ave N served by Routes 31, 32, 40, and 62 will be temporarily relocated to the far side of N 34th St, approximately 300-400 feet south of the current stop

Metro riders can expect these new temporary stops to serve these routes as early as May 12. These temporary bus stops are anticipated to serve riders through 2025.
