A portion of 17^th Avenue NE between NE 45^th Street and NE 47^th Street will be resurfaced with asphalt on July 13, weather permitting. The street will be closed to all northbound vehicle and bicycle traffic, with a detour provided. The crews plan to work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This work is part of the Seattle Department of Transportation’s annual paving program, funded by the Bridging the Gap transportation initiative approved by Seattle voters.
