Bicycles and pedestrian routes

Bicycle and pedestrian routes will change during construction, but crews will maintain clearly marked paths, and outreach staff will continue to work with local bicycle and pedestrian organizations to communicate changes.

Future access

Bicycle and pedestrian improvements are an important part of our work to replace the viaduct. So far crews have built:

• A new multi-use path along the west side of Alaskan Way South, between South King and South Atlantic streets.
• New bike lanes on East Frontage Road South.
• New sidewalks on Railroad Way South, First Avenue South, South Royal Brougham Way, South Atlantic Street, and Colorado Avenue South.

Future improvements include a new 12-foot-wide bicycle and pedestrian path on the north side of South Atlantic Street, between Utah Avenue South and Alaskan Way South. This new connection will link bicyclists and pedestrians to the trail network in downtown and beyond. Permanent bicycle improvements along the downtown waterfront will be designed as part of the City of Seattle’s Waterfront Seattle project.
