The 220 -foot long bridge has been assembled on -site and will be set in place with three cranes, two on the east side of the river and one on the west side. Throughout this stage of construction, traffic will be impacted with temporary nighttime lane closures necessary for public safety. Everyone involved is excited for this work to happen, but wants the public to be aware of the construction activity and its dangers. The City of Tukwila and SB Structures ask the public to avoid driving in this area during lane closures and to keep clear of the construction site during this process. AREA IMPACTED: West Valley Hwy between I405 and Strander Blvd TIMES: 7:30 PM to 5:30 AM DATES: July 9, 2017 to July 14, 2017 The City of Tukwila and SB Structures would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation while we build a new pedestrian bridge across the Green River. WHAT TO EXPECT: Lane closures will be required for the construction activities taking place. Lane closures begin at 7:30 pm on each of the impacted days lasting until 5:30 am the following day. July 9th 12th , and July 14th, traffic on north and south bound West Valley Hwy between I405 and Strander Blvd, each direction will be reduced to one dedicated lane for movement through the construction zone. July 13th traffic will be restricted to a single lane with flaggers directing the traffic through the construction zone. This is the night the bridge will be lifted into place. The expected traffic volumes are low, so we hope to minimize inconvenience to the public.
