SDOT will be closing all lanes of 15th Ave W between W Dravus and W Emerson Streets starting tomorrow, Saturday, November 22nd at 9pm. The road will reopen on Sunday, November 23rd at 7am.

The closure is required to complete work on the West Emerson Overpass Repair Project. Here are the details from SDOT:

  • Both north- and southbound traffic on 15th Ave W will have a signed detour route between W Dravus and W Emerson streets that uses West Dravus, 20th Ave W, Gilman Ave W and W Emerson.
  • On-street parking will be restricted on 14th Ave West between W Dravus and W Emerson streets between 8pm Saturday and 8am Sunday.
  • Local access to businesses on 15th Ave W between W Dravus and W Ruffner streets will be maintained .
  • Police officers will be stationed at the intersections of 15th Ave W with W Dravus St and W Emerson St to help direct the flow of traffic during the closure.

The overnight closure is needed to safely remove exterior falsework that is supporting temporary work platforms on the bridge. A single overnight closure will best ensure the safety of the public and workers while minimizing risks to the schedule.

If you’re headed to Interbay, Magnolia, or Ballard, plan ahead for an alternate route. See below for closure-related detours:
