Construction begins Tuesday, Aug. 12, on improvements to 67th Avenue NE between Grove Street and 88th Street. The city’s contractor, Bayshore Construction, will replace pedestrian ADA ramps, complete street repairs and grind and overlay the full roadway with new pavement. 

During the first phase, expect a full closure of the southbound lane for ADA ramp demolition and construction along the west side of 67th Avenue and pavement repairs; one lane will remain open in each direction. One point of access will remain open for all neighborhoods on the west side of 67th Avenue NE. Through traffic should plan for delays and use alternate routes when possible. Pedestrian access will remain open throughout the duration of construction.

In mid-September, grinding will take place in the center and northbound lanes, and the northbound lane will be closed. During this phase, ADA ramp demolition and construction will occur on the west side of 88th Street NE; pavement repairs will also be completed in the northbound lane. One lane will remain open in each direction.  

Paving is planned to occur during the first week of October and should be completed in 2-3 days. No night work is planned. Construction should be completed in late October.
