Madison will be closed at MLK September 26-30

Be ready for a complete closure of E Madison St near MLK/28th Ave E next week as Seattle Public Utilities repaves the road. Work is expected to start the morning of September 26 and last all week. MLK and 28th Ave E will also be closed for one block on either side of Madison.

The work is part of the Madison Valley Stormwater Project, which passed the 75 percent completion mark earlier this month. The project is on schedule to be completed by the end of the year.

From SDOT:
