South Tacoma Way Corridor Improvements Begin July 6

The City of Tacoma’s Public Works department will begin improvements on the South Tacoma Way Corridor on Monday, July 6, for a project that is estimated to run through November 2015. This project will rehabilitate the roadway along South Tacoma Way from 43rd to 47th streets and from 56th to 66th streets. Traffic will be down to one lane during construction, with flaggers in place for traffic control.

Improvements include constructing sidewalks, grinding and overlay of the street from curb to curb, with the addition of bike lanes and LED streetlights where necessary. Driveways, hazardous sidewalks and curb ramps are being rebuilt to be ADA compliant. The intersection at South 47th Street will be improved and provide a transition to the existing Water Flume Line Trail. In addition, the project will improve the connection between the Water Flume line Trail and the Sounder Train Station at South 58th Street.
