The following is Federal Way’s current and anticipated major street construction (3-29-24) 

(Note: minor road and/or short term street impacts are not reflected here).

CURRENT WORK:

Lakehaven Water and Sewer District – Watermain Replacement – 21^st Ave SW – SW 356^th to SW 348^th Street

24/7 Lane Closures Start April 2, 2024

Lakehaven Water and Sewer District has contracted with RW Scott Construction Company to reconstruct the water main in 21^st Ave SW between SW 348^th St and SW 356^th St starting on April 2, 2024.  This work is needed to eliminate older infrastructure before the City of Federal Way overlays the street in June, 2024.  The center lanes of 21^st Avenue SW will be closed to all traffic for 24 hours a day, starting on April 2 for approximately 2 to 3 weeks, however one lane of traffic in each direction will be open at all times.  After the new water main has been constructed and connected to the existing network of pipes, then the traffic control will be as needed and the center lanes will be opened to the public.  This closure is necessary to facilitate the installation of the new water main.  The closure will allow for accelerated construction of the watermain, and will be a shorter duration of impact to the traveling public.  

The overall construction of the water main improvement project will be from April 2^nd to June 1^st.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact Jai Carter, Lakehaven Project Manager at JCarter@lakehaven.org.
