NW 95th Street and 8th Avenue NW intersection closed for emergency sewer repair work

A contractor for Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is completing an emergency sewer repair at the intersection of NW 95th Street and 8th Avenue NW. A maintenance hole in the intersection degraded and the sewer pipes connected to the maintenance hole were damaged. Currently the contractor is working on repairing the maintenance hole. This work requires a large contingency of pumps and excavation and therefore the entire intersection is impacted. When the maintenance hole work is complete, the contractor will investigate the extent of the damage to the connected pipes and repair them.

SCHEDULE

Work began on Monday, Feb. 26 and is estimated to be complete in early April. Since the extent of the damaged pipe is unknown at this time, this schedule is an estimation and may change. We will update the community as necessary. Street restoration work will be scheduled once the repair work is completed. Working hours are expected to be 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. On-site sewer bypass equipment will continue to be monitored 24/7 as needed.
