Event: Alaskan Way Viaduct south end replacement groundbreaking
When: Jun 29 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Description: We invite you to join Governor Chris Gregoire and other elected officials on Tuesday, June 29 as we kick off major construction for the S. Holgate Street to S. King Street viaduct replacement. This project will remove almost half of the seismically vulnerable Alaskan Way Viaduct.

The new section of SR 99 south of downtown Seattle will be a safer side-by-side roadway designed to withstand earthquakes. It will improve mobility and access to and from key freight facilities in the area, keeping the Port competitive and helping to support family wage jobs in the city.

At the groundbreaking we will celebrate moving forward with this critically important project and acknowledge the many individuals and agencies that made this project possible, including U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s successful effort to secure federal funding.

Event: Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Public Meeting
When: Jul 15 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Description: Join us on July 15 to discuss replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall

On the third Thursday of each month, WSDOT and SDOT, in cooperation with the Alliance for Pioneer Square and the New Pioneer Square Blog, host a public meeting to discuss plans to replace the seismically vulnerable Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall. The purpose of these meetings is to provide information, and give neighbors an opportunity to comment and ask questions about how viaduct replacement will affect the Pioneer Square neighborhood.

This month’s meeting is at noon on Thursday, July 15 at the Klondike Gold Rush Museum (319 Second Ave. S.). Meeting topics include:

* Construction update: Construction to replace the southern mile of the viaduct is now underway. Find out how current and upcoming work will affect you, and what state and local agencies are doing to keep the neighborhood vital during construction.
* Central Waterfront Project overview: With the decision to remove the viaduct and replace the seawall, Seattle has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reclaim its downtown waterfront, reconnect the city to Elliott Bay, and set an example for the sustainable development of the rapidly-urbanizing Puget Sound shoreline. SDOT Project Manager Steve Pearce will give a brief overview of the project and answer questions about how it will affect Pioneer Square.
