WHAT TO EXPECT
CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS DURING UTILITY WORK•7am-6pm construction hours
•Limited overnight or earlier start times work is expected in limited circumstances
⚬During the Farmer's Market, work hours on Tuesdays are from 5am -12pm for work
near the Market
⚬Overnight work is expected for the sewer tie-in at the intersection of Rainier Ave S and
S 3rd St
•Equipment will stay in work zones overnight
WORK HOURS
•While we are installing multiple utilities in the same street, the work cannot occur at the
same time.
•In general, installation must occur from deepest utility to shallowest utility due to trench
widths/depths (i.e. sewer, storm, water)
⚬Generally sewer is deepest and installed first
•Sewer and storm are installed from the downstream elevation to the upstream elevation
(i.e. deep to shallow)
⚬Sewer and storm do not always follow the same flow. It is dependent upon the
connection point or outfall. For example, in S 3rd St:
■Sewer flows from west (upstream) to east (downstream)
■Storm flows from east (upstream) to west (downstream)
MULTIPLE UTILITIES
26 AGENDA ITEM #1. a)
DOWNTOWN UTILITIES IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
•Block by block sections of S 3rd Street will be closed to vehicle access
during the working day
⚬Closure of each section is expected to last approximately 2-4
weeks
⚬Traffic detours will be in place directing traffic south on Shattuck
Ave S and east on S 4th St
⚬Businesses along S 3rd St can be accessed via Morris Ave S and
Smithers Ave S
•Where possible, a minimum of 1-lane of traffic will be open at all times
⚬During construction hours, detours will be established when traffic
cannot safely proceed through the work zones
⚬Additional lanes may be open after construction hours when
possible and safe
⚬Detour and traffic signs will signal vehicle re-routes and access
