Tuesday, December 8, a Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) crew will begin working in the two right lanes southbound on Roosevelt Way NE between NE 64^th Street and NE 55^thStreet.  The work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.  The SDOT crew will grind down the surface layer of asphalt in the curb right lane and part of the middle right hand lane.   On Wednesday, December 9, the crew will pave the lanes, opening them up to traffic as the new asphalt cures.   If needed, the crew will return and complete the paving work by 3p.m. on Friday, December 11.  During the project, the sidewalk will remain open to pedestrians and access to the businesses will be maintained.  Motorists should plan on a slight delay through the work zone.
