The Nickerson Paving Project is beginning 17 consecutive days of work, making improvements between 15th Ave W and 14th Ave W. To strengthen the road base and repave this principal arterial and major truck route/transit street, the interchange at W Nickerson St and 15th Ave W must be closed October 5 – 22.
To help clarify alternative routes during this time, we’ve made the following maps. Also, see below for updated work hours. Note, the work is weather dependent, so timing may change. If you have questions, please contact us at NickersonPaving@Seattle.gov or 206-256-5252.
What you can expect:
