Mercer Corridor Project Closures and Detours Info

 

Construction Update/Weekend Closures

SDOT reminds travelers of the upcoming January 27 – 29 weekend closure of the I-5 on- and off-ramps at Mercer St. Due to multiple events in the South Lake Union area this weekend, closure times have been modified to accommodate event access.

 

Mercer St. Stage 2 Traffic Switch Will Begin Following Weekend Closure

Stage 2 of Mercer East will begin and eastbound traffic on Mercer St. will be re-routed onto the new Mercer St. lanes north of the existing lanes. Three lanes of traffic will continue eastbound on Mercer St. with access to the I-5 on-ramps and southbound Fairview Ave. N.

 

· The far-right lane of eastbound Mercer St. will be right-turn only at Dexter Ave. N.

· Access to Mercer St. from the south via Boren, Terry, and Westlake Avenues will be concurrently closed

at Republican St.

· Right turns from Mercer St. onto Fairview Ave. N southbound will still be allowed; however, alternate

routes should be used to reach Eastlake Ave. E and Capitol Hill (i.e. Dexter Ave. N to Republican St.) due to

increased congestion on Mercer St.

· Left turns from Mercer St. onto Fairview Ave. N northbound will not be permitted during Stage

The South Lake Union neighborhood lies to the northwest of downtown proper and Denny Triangle, at the south end of Lake Union. It also located between Interstate-5 and Capitol Hill to the east, and the Queen Anne/Uptown neighborhood to the west.

Once a center for logging, maritime industries, and other industrial activities, the neighborhood has transformed into a modern, diverse community with businesses ranging from biotechnology and medical research to a wide variety of vibrant small businesses.

South Lake Union is also home to a large number of non-profit, social service and community organizations. Visit our About South Lake Union  page for more details...

SDOT Dexter Avenue Paving Project Underway The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is executing a paving and construction project along Dexter Avenue N. between Roy Street and Fremont Avenue N. in 2011. This project is funded by the "Bridging the Gap" transportation levy approved by Seattle voters in November 2006. Phase 3 (July to September) – Garfield Street to Roy Street will likely impact South Lake Union the most, but the entire project will greatly affect traffic all along Dexter Ave. N. to Fremont View Mercer Corridor Construction Updates Here:   http://www.seattle.gov/Transportation/ppmp_mercer_construction.htm   Ask about our ribbon-cutting ceremonies for grand openings and special occasions!
