 The southern mile of the viaduct, between S. Holgate and S. King streets, is being replaced with a new side-by-side roadway that has wider lanes, meets current earthquake standards and improves mobility for people and goods in the south of downtown area.
As a part of the replacement program, WSDOT is creating secure and mobility improvements in the corridor. The end result for this program will be the replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the Elliott Bay seawall.
Project Benefits are Safety and traffic where safe, seismically sound replacement structures for the viaduct and seawall will be created.
 Also improvements to SR 99, city streets and transit would provide capacity in the transportation system for today and the future and improve access and mobility to and through downtown Seattle.
