In preparation for construction to build the Ship Canal Trail, Puget Sound Energy is relocating a gas line that runs under the Nickerson/15th Avenue West Ramp, just north of West Emerson Street. To complete the work PSE will close the Nickerson/15th Avenue West Ramp to southbound 15th Avenue West from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day for up to five days, beginning Wednesday (8/24). The roadway will remain open on the weekends, with work resuming August 29 and 30 as needed.
During this utility work PSE will detour most traffic from W Nickerson Street to West Emerson Street heading east, to access southbound 15th Avenue West. As we reported, the Department of Transportation work to build the Ship Canal Trail is expected to begin in early September
