Work on the Columbia Street 2-Way Corridor Project continues.
We’re advising travelers that Columbia Street will be reduced to one travel lane between 2nd and 3rd Avenues on Wed, March 28, between 9 AM and 3 PM.
This work is in partnership with King County Metro in preparation to convert Columbia Street from a 1-way street to a 2-way transit pathway. The work includes complete street reconstruction to accommodate buses, new signal poles, and curb line changes.
NOTE: This work is weather-dependent and subject to change.
