Project benefits
The South Access — Surface Street Connections Project completed final roadway work associated with the SR 99 tunnel and Alaskan Way Viaduct demolition projects and built new pedestrian and bicycle amenities that connect Seattle’s stadiums with the waterfront. This was the final major project in the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program.
In this project, we built a plaza on Railroad Way South between Alaskan Way and Occidental Avenue South, creating a pedestrian corridor between the stadiums and the waterfront. A new east-west street, Charles Street, provides local access between First Avenue South and Occidental Avenue South. The project also included paving portions of First Avenue South and South Dearborn Street.
