South Seattle — Travelers along Beacon Avenue South will be forced to alter their commute for the next couple of months as The Seattle Department of Transportation begins construction of a new sidewalk between 14th Avenue South and South Holgate Street. Southbound Beacon Avenue South will be fully closed to vehicle traffic beginning this morning -Wednesday, Oct. 22- for approximately nine weeks.
The Seattle Department of Transportation has mandated that during this closure, southbound vehicles must use an alternate route:
During the closure, pedestrian and bicycle access will be permitted on Beacon Avenue South. Intermittent restrictions may be in place and access will be provided with the help of traffic flaggers.
