The intersection of NW 85th Street and 8th Avenue NW will be closed again this weekend so Seattle Department of Transportation crews can rebuild it. Large signs sit by the side of the road, warning drivers from every direction as they approach the intersection.
The rebuilt intersection is part of SDOT?s nearly year-long repaving of N/NW 85th Street from Ballard to I-5. The intersection will be closed from 6 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. Work will continue around the clock, but noisy work (such as jack-hammering) will be limited between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m.
Detour routes will be posted, and nearby businesses will be open, just a little harder to get to. Eastbound detours will remain in place on NW 85th St between 15th Ave NW and 8th Ave NW as part of the work on that stretch of road.
Metro bus routes 28 and 48 will be detoured. Check Metro?s Alerts Center for more information and to sign up for Transit Alerts
