SDOT is advising travelers that Columbia Street will be reduced to one travel lane between 2nd and 3rd Avenues on Wednesday, April 4, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. as work on the Columbia St 2-way Transit Corridor Project continues.
This work is in partnership with King County Metro in preparation to convert Columbia St from a 1-way street to a 2-way transit pathway.

- Columbia St will be reduced to one travel lane between 1st and 2nd Avenues
- Westbound Columbia St traffic will be rerouted between 2nd and 3rd Avenues
- Signed detours will be in place
- One traffic lane will be maintained around the work zone
