City of Seattle street work crews are in a hurry. Seattle rain is coming. You’ll see a crew the next couple days working on one of the bumpiest stretches for drivers and riders on Capitol Hill — Harvard Ave behind Seattle Central.
“We strive to accomplish as many paving projects as possible before the rainy season arrives,” a city spokesperson tells CHS.
The planned two-day paving project — weather permitting! — is planned to stretch on Harvard Ave from E Denny Way south to just below E Olive St.
Crews will be removing and repaving the top two inches of the street with work taking place between 7 AM and 5 PM. Parking will be restricted during the short project.
Beyond repaving, expect plenty of digging and street work along Capitol Hill’s southern edges over the next three years. Work is finally ramping up to build “bus rapid transit” on Madison with plans for the new RapidRide G line to begin service in 2024.
