July 31 Weekly Rainier Ave. S. Project Update

Paving work continues

• SW Victoria St. intermittent closures for subgrade preparation and paving expected through Friday, August 1
• Hayes Pl. intermittent closures for demolition and paving expected through Friday, August 1

Please note: Paving work is subject to weather conditions. Local access will be maintained during these temporary closures, and temporary barricades will be set up for safe passage.

Lane closures will increase significantly as embankment and phases of construction continue. We will do our best to notify the public of any closures within 24 hours.

For all traffic impacts for the week, visit rentonwa.gov/traffic. As part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening project, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has several closures this summer that may impact overall traffic flow, visit WSDOT’s webpage for upcoming closures on I-405.

We will make every effort to maintain driveway access. If any closures are necessary for upgrades, property owners will be notified in advance. We appreciate your patience as our team continues to make progress on this project.
