Sound Transit announcement.
Starting as early as Tuesday May 31st, for about three weeks, the contractor will be closing the southbound direction of Stadium Way starting at Division Avenue to 7th Street and Commerce. Driveway access will be maintained, and street parking removed adjacent to work areas. The work will occur in phases within the area so please make sure to follow detour signage. Pedestrian detours are in place to maintain a safe working site.
Along the project area the crews are continuing to finish the roadway restoration, working on station finishes, adjust utilities, paint striping on the street, install crosswalks in various locations along the Hilltop Tacoma Link project area. Please allow for extra travel time to get to your final destination and follow detour signage (see below for details)
Access is open to hospitals, medical centers and the emergency department during construction.
Looking ahead the contractor is planning on connecting the existing T Line (Tacoma Link Line) to the Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension project. This will require a long term intersection closure of 9th and Commerce. The schedule and timeframe is to be determined but we will provide notification to the area once it is scheduled.
Please support your local businesses during construction and stay Loyal to the Local!
