A press release from Sound Transit.
Crews will mill and pave on the west side of Stadium Way from Division Avenue to I-705, starting on Wednesday, Sept. 22. Stadium Way will close to southbound traffic from Broadway to I-705, and S. 4th St. will close between Broadway and Stadium Way for this work. Access will be open to parking garages as much as possible. However, laying asphalt will block access to parking garages on Sept. 30. To access downtown and I-705, please follow the detour on St. Helens to Market Street to S. 13th St. To access northbound Stadium Way, please follow Commerce St. from S. 9th St. or take the I-705 exit. We apologize for these inconveniences and thank you for your patience.
In the Stadium District, crews will install signals at the southeast corner of the Tacoma Avenue and N. 1st St. intersection (The Harvester Restaurant side) on Sept. 21 for two to three days. Then, they will move the signal work to the Division Ave and Yakima Ave intersection.
