(See map below)
Updated 9/13/19

1.  Atlas 236 – 55th Avenue W and 236th Street SW

Expect lane shifts on 56th Avenue W.  Sidewalk will be closed on 236th Street SW between 55th Avenue W and 56th Avenue W during the day.  Also expect lane closures on 55th Avenue W.

2.  Main Street Revitalization – 236th Street SW and 58th Avenue W

The Main Street Revitalization Project construction work on 236th Street SW and 56th Avenue W is ongoing and on schedule. Speed limits within the construction zone are currently reduced to 20 mph.

During daytime working hours, Eastbound 236th Street SW will continue to be closed between 58th and 56th Avenue W during when brief lane shifts and lane closures with flagging may occur. Two-way travel throughout the construction area will be provided outside of daytime working hours. Flaggers will be on duty to help people through the construction zone.

Closure of roadways for project paving is scheduled for early October. Preparation for paving causes the elimination of the left-turn lanes at the 236th/56th signal, and also leads to the closure of 58th Avenue W north of 236th Street SW beginning Monday,  September 16 with traffic detoured to 56th Avenue W. Significant delays during peak commute periods should be expected throughout the construction area until paving is complete, and will be worst the week of October 7. Additional information will be provided Monday,  September 16.
