SDOT: June Constellation Center construction will bring Broadway sidewalk and bike lane closure

Construction of the new Constellation Center job training center and its adjoining eight-story affordable apartment building in the heart of Capitol Hill is a major logistical undertaking so it’s not surprising there will be a few disruptions for how people get around at Broadway at Pine during the next few years of work before the facility opens in 2027.

The Seattle Department of Transportation wants walkers, and bike and scooter riders to know about an upcoming disruption set for this stretch of Broadway:

We’ve approved a request by a contractor working on an affordable housing project to close the bike lane and the sidewalk on the east side of Broadway between Pike St and Pine St from June 2 to June 15, 2025. The bike lane will be closed 24-hours a day, and the sidewalk will be closed between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily. The contractor working on the nearby affordable housing project needs these closures so they can expand Seattle City Light’s underground infrastructure safely.

SDOT says bike and scooter riders will need to make some changes to their routes because of the Broadway streetcar tracks.

Because of the streetcar tracks on Broadway, if you are biking or scooting you will need to either:

  • Cross the street and walk your bike or scooter for one block on sidewalk on the west side of Broadway.
  • Use a different route such as 12th Ave E and Melrose Ave to get between Pike St and Pine St.

“We’re sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience,” SDOT says. “When the work is done, the contractor will reopen the bike lane and sidewalk for you to use.”

Oh no! It has been less than a year since the Madison rapid ride street nightmare construction ended. Now more lane closures in our neighborhood? Why don’t residents get any sense in the amount of construction and street impact in our neighborhood?
