Alaskan Way Construction Moving North of Pike In ALASKAN WAY CONSTRUCTION NOVEMBER 2019 MOVING NORTH OF PIKE IN DECEMBER As early as December 2, Waterfront Seattle will expand its work area north of Pike Street in the footprint of the former viaduct to begin construction of the new Elliott Way. This road over the railroad tracks and carved into the hillside, will be a key connection between Alaskan Way and Belltown. Activities include establishing the work zone, mobilizing equipment, locating utilities, and removing asphalt and landscaping. In addition, we plan to replace the eastern segment of the Lenora Pedestrian Bridge in order to meet the appropriate grades of the new Elliott Way sidewalk and roadway. The Port of Seattle plans to perform maintenance activities on the elevator here. All of these activities require closure of the Lenora pedestrian bridge, including elevator access, starting as early as January 2, until it is connected to the new Elliott Way.

    Blue Urbanism: Inviting Urban Play on Seattle's North Waterfront Scan l Design Master Studio, Autumn 2014 [Larch 501/Arch504] Instructors: Nancy Rottle (LA), Jim Nicholls (ARCH), and Leann Andrews (PhD BE) Teaching Assistant: VeraEve Giampietro (LA & UDP) With Gehl Architects/Cititek: Bianca Hermansen GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR SEATTLE'S CENTRAL WATERFRONT (adopted by City Council): • Create a waterfront for all. • Put the shoreline and innovative, sustainable design at the forefront. • Reconnect the city to its waterfront. • Embrace and celebrate Seattle’s past, present and future. • Improve Access and Mobility (for people and goods). • Create a bold vision that is adaptable over time. • Develop consistent leadership–from concept to construction to operations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Seattle's Central Waterfront is heralded as one of the most significant civic projects in the city's history. With imminent removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and current replacement of the aging Elliott Bay Seawall, Seattle has begun to envision and enact a great "waterfront for all." Removal of the viaduct and rerouting of Alaskan Way along the waterfront will create abundant new and qualitatively different public space, while the seawall replacement will provide for a more ecologically functional edge. However, while the team led by James Corner Field Operations has proposed and designed a new waterfront between Piers 48 and 62/63, less attention has been paid to the waterfront segment between Piers 62/63 and the Olympic Sculpture Park. With the reconfiguration of Alaskan Way, this northern segment offers rich opportunities for better public, pedestrian, bicycle and ecological space along a less-traveled roadway.

  • ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT and BATTERY STREET TUNNEL HAER WA-184 Seattle WA-184 King County Washington PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL A
    ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT AND BATTERY STREET TUNNEL HAER WA-184 Seattle WA-184 King County Washington PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA FIELD RECORDS HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT AND BATTERY STREET TUNNEL HAER WA-184 Location: The Alaskan Way Viaduct is a two-level structure of reinforced concrete that runs for approximately two miles between Battery Street and S. Holgate Street on the downtown waterfront of Seattle, King County, Washington. The 2,134 foot-long Battery Street Tunnel connects the north end of the viaduct to State Route (SR) 99 (Aurora Avenue N.). Construction Dates: 1949-1966 Designers: City of Seattle Engineering Department (Battery Street-Pike Street, Pike Street to S. King Street, Battery Street Tunnel, Washington Department of Highways Bridge Division (S. King Street to S. Holgate Street) Owner: Washington State Department of Transportation Significance: The Alaskan Way Viaduct is significant for its double-deck configuration, the first such bridge built in the state of Washington. The structure encompasses two different designs and crosses over highly complex subsurface conditions, supported throughout its length on pile foundations. The Battery Street Tunnel was the City of Seattle Engineering Department's first venture into tunnel design. It was designed and built to minimize traffic disruption and reduce risk to neighboring buildings. Its health and safety features were innovative at the time, including a ventilation system actuated by carbon monoxide monitors and a heat- actuated automatic sprinkler system. The viaduct and the tunnel played an important role in the development of Seattle and the region by providing a direct connection through downtown Seattle and to the industrial areas to the south.
