It’s not time to tear down the Viaduct yet, but traffic will see a shift as construction crews ready work on the deep bore tunnel that will soon be its replacement.
Starting the second week in May, the Washington State Department of Transportation will reroute six blocks of traffic. It will impact ferry access, parking and traffic patterns along the waterfront south of Spring Street.
The route will be in effect until early 2014, according to WSDOT.
A detailed map of the changes is available, as well as a video that takes you on a virtual ride of the new trip.
