Back in February, we brought you first word of King County’s plan to build a sidewalk and replace road panels along the south side of SW Roxbury between 28th and 30th SW (right side of our file photo above). Today, the county is saying the work will start in “late May,” and will go like this:

·Work scheduled from late May-July, if weather cooperates ·Area is SW Roxbury Street between 28th Avenue SW and 30th Avenue SW ·One lane of road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., each day ·Flaggers will direct two-way vehicle traffic ·Pedestrians will be detoured ·Roxhill Elementary bus loading areas will be moved to west edge of the school property ·Businesses along this section of SW Roxbury Street will remain open and access provided at all times. Access points will be provided for the gas station, the auto parts store/latte stand and auto repair shop.

Our February report has more details on that; the county also has sent out this mailer:
