Project Description

The SW 43rd Pavement Preservation Project aims to include improvements to the existing intersections along the corridor that will restore and repair existing pavement conditions, eliminate sub-standard conditions, upgrade all intersection ramps to current ADA standards, improve safety and mobility for transit stops, as well as provide an enhanced pedestrian environment. Improvements include pavement rehabilitation and repair, curbs, gutters, catchment basins improvement, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalks and curb ramps, landscaping restoration at intersections, and updated channelization throughout the corridor.

Existing Condition

SW 43rd Street is a principal arterial with 5-6 lanes of travel and a daily traffic volume of 30,000 vehicles. This major east-west corridor serves and connects directly into the Tukwila Regional Growth Center and is classified as a T-1 truck route. SW 43rd Street connects directly to SR 167 and is used as a main access to Valley Medical Center, IKEA, Costco Wholesale, Southcenter Parkway and other major area employment centers. As a connector street for an all-day transit route that serves E. Valley Highway, SW 43rd St also serves as a transit route for a Demand Area Response Transit (DART) route that connects Southcenter Parkway to the Fairwood neighborhood. The SW 43rd Corridor is a key east-west South County corridor that connects Tukwila, Renton, and Kent for shipping and commercial distribution of goods as well as local and regional retail shopping centers. The physical condition of the corridor is in need of repair and improved drainage solutions at the intersections. In addition, the transit experience for users near the SW 43rd St/SR 167 ramps is in need of minor improvements for better visibility and circulation at this busy intersection.

Project Benefits
