SR 900/68th Ave S Vicinity – Pedestrian Safety – Phase 2 PCCP & Deck Overlay – Completed May 2023

Project overview

In the Bryn Mawr-Skyway area of King County between Seattle and Renton, just west of 68th Avenue South, we worked with King County Metro to build 500 feet of new sidewalk and a raised platform for pedestrians to access a Metro bus stop on the east side of the highway.

This new section of sidewalk links a crosswalk at SR 900/68th Avenue South with a King County Metro bus shelter on SR 900. Previously, people reached the bus shelter by walking along the shoulder of a busy highway.

The project also added pedestrian safety improvements at the crosswalk at SR 900/68th Avenue South, such as accessible pedestrian signals for pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired.

Crews also improved drainage, landscaping and lighting as part of this project.
