The project will improve safety for roadway and pedestrian travel. Repairs will increase electrical reliability and streetlighting for the First Hill neighborhood.
Crews may be working on both sides of Madison Street to span cable across the street. Customers can expect temporary parking and lane restrictions in the immediate work area during construction hours.
Traffic control flaggers and uniformed police officers will be used to maintain traffic and pedestrian safety through Madison Street and its intersections on Terry, Boren and Minor avenues.
Construction is scheduled to begin on Sunday, May 21, 2017. Daily work hours are from Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with possible evening and night work. The entire project is expected to last approximately five days.
