Occasional Lane Restrictions

Construction begins January 12, 2026

The final phase of the Pedestrian Safety Improvements and Traffic Calming Project on 16th Ave SW between SW 100th St and SW 107th St will begin on Monday, January 12, 2026 through May 29, 2026, from 7 am to 5 pm each day.

The final phase of this project includes:

-Adding a bike lane in each direction. Crews have already added a center turn lane and one traveling lane in each direction.
-Building curb extensions at SW 104th and SW 106th streets to make it safer for people to cross the road.
-Adding new signs and other safety features between SW 100th and SW 107th streets.
-Adding more parking spaces – the number of spots will go up from 43 to 46.  View the parking changes to see where parking will be.
-We expect work to begin on the west side of 16th Ave SW and SW 104th and SW 106th Streets. Traffic will be flagged around the work zone when necessary. Emergency vehicles will have access through the work zone.
