Paving for Progress Construction Update

6th Street SW

Construction Update | 10-22-21

Continuing Monday, October 25, the intersection of 33rd Avenue SW and 6th Street will operate temporarily as a four-way stop on an intermittent schedule for approximately one week. This change will occur between the hours of approximately 7 a.m. and Noon each day, not including weekends.

During this time, the traffic signal will change to flashing red and flaggers will direct traffic. This change will allow for jobsite safety as crews work to place pavement at the intersection. Drivers should expect delays during the morning hours. The intersection should return to normal operations in time for each day’s evening commute.

Until pavement operations are completed at this intersection, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction on 33rd Avenue SW. Traffic on 6th Street SW will continue in its current configuration of one lane in each direction.

Thank you for your patience as we continue our work to improve the 6th Street SW corridor.

About the Project

The 6th Street SW project stretches from Wilson Avenue to 33rd Avenue, and includes new asphalt, utilities, traffic signals, sidewalk, and transition from four lanes (two lanes each direction) to three lanes (one lane each direction with dedicated turn lane). The majority of the project will be completed during the 2021 construction season, with remaining work completed in 2022.
