As part of the ongoing work around the creation of Seattle City Light’s $300 million substation at Denny Way and Minor Ave N, closures on Denny Way have been occurring on nights and weekends for a few weeks. But the project is about to enter a new phase, with a big impact to travelers though South Lake Union and Denny Triangle.
From Seattle City Light:
From Friday, Oct. 14, at 11 p.m., to Monday, Oct. 17, at 5 a.m., all lanes on Denny Way will be closed while crews restripe the roadway. After 5 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 17, Denny Way between Stewart St. and Minor Ave N will be reduced to one lane in each direction 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, for five weeks. On the weekend ofNov. 19 and 20, crews will close all lanes of Denny Way once again in order to restore the roadway to its normal configuration. All lanes on Denny Way will reopen on Monday, Nov. 21.
That’s right: north Downtown’s main I-5 queue will reduce to one lane in each direction for five weeks. Seattle City Light has provided an animation of how Denny will function during the closure…at 3 o’clock in the morning. At other times of day, traffic will be heavier.
