Between 6 and 10 p.m. tonight, September 12, work will be completed at the intersection of Third Avenue NW and NW 85th Street as part of the N/NW 85th Street Paving Project. Activities will include sealing concrete joints in the intersection and other miscellaneous wrap up work. Traffic will be affected on both Third Avenue NW and NW 85th Street. Drivers should expect delays due to restricted travel lanes during this work. A uniformed police office will be onsite to assist with traffic; please travel cautiously through this area and use alternate routes if possible.
Construction continues in Phase 4 of the project on N 85th Street between Aurora Avenue N and Wallingford Avenue N, with eastbound traffic detoured to N 80th Street from Greenwood Avenue N to I-5. The entire N/NW 85th Street Paving Project is scheduled to be complete by the end of October.
