Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) paving crews plan to resurface 12th Avenue from East Pike Street to East Madison Street on July 20 and 21, weather permitting. One lane will remain open in each direction, and sidewalks will remain open. On Tuesday, July 20, the crews plan to grind off the old surface, working from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Wednesday, July 21, they plan to apply the new asphalt surface, starting at 8 a.m. and finishing no later than 6 p.m.

This project is part of SDOT’s annual paving program and the Bridging the Gap transportation initiative approved by Seattle voters.
