West Seattle road work: Yet more ‘spot paving’ in the works

| Delridge | Transportation | West Seattle news

Another road-work announcement from SDOT:

Seattle Department of Transportation paving crews tentatively plan to spot-repair the pavement at three locations on Delridge Way SW next week, weather permitting. One lane of traffic will be open for each direction of traffic. Some on-street parking will be restricted in front of locations being paved.

As for which three locations – ~~we are working to find out~~ SDOT’s Marybeth Turner says it’s an area between Holly and Willow; an area between Oregon and Alaska; and an area 300 feet north of SW Genesee.

In the meantime, the paving crew has finished its work on Sylvan Way and has moved on today to grinding the potholed surface off SW Orchard between Delridge and Dumar (map), with new asphalt scheduled to follow on Friday (as always, provided the weather isn’t too bad). At this spot, traffic is going one way at a time, with police and flagger assistance

Awesome! Now if we can get 35th between Holden and Myrtle repaved, my suspension will be grateful.

And how about the massive potholes on Beach Drive that are threatening to swallow small cars whole?

I live in the 6500 block of Delridge. The potholes are terrible especially with off street parking. With the commuting traffic everyday, Delridge is probably the heaviest used arterial in need of repair in WS.

Call the pothole line 386-1218 to complain about the potholes on Delridge near Thistle. Truely, it is a utility repaving problem where they didn’t compact the base before the crews poured the concrete panels. It is a pissing match between the two city departments: Utilities verses Transportation. However, SDOT needs to step up and at least fill where the panels have sunk. CALL THEM BECAUSE THEY WONT UNLESS PEOPLE COMPLAIN. SEATTLE IS A “COMPLAINT BASED” SYSTEM – I am not making this up. Ask any department personnel. Please call!

Sorry, comment time is over.
