Project Title & Location
15th St. SW to S. 180th St. Stage 3: HOV Lanes--Auburn to Renton
|

|
|
Contractor/Consultant
Project is not yet advertised or awarded.

|
Recent Progress
Redesign of stormwater facilities has been underway. A meeting with permitting agency representatives is being arranged.
|
|
Design Construction Impacts
Recent advances in methods to treat and detain storm water runoff made the old design obsolete. The storm water system must be redesigned to meet the higher-level environmental requirements.
|
|
Environmental Impacts / Compliance
Five-year-old permits obtained for the old design have expired. We must reapply after the storm water system is redesigned.
|
Impacts to Traffic
The project will improve the efficiency of the general purpose and HOV lanes. Construction will require lane closures at times during non peak hours. Public outreach will be conducted.
