Milestone: Construction on 5th Avenue progressing on schedule
Light rail construction has wrapped up on 5th Avenue between Irving and Oak streets and between Salmon and Jefferson streets. Crews have replaced the roadway and laid rail track and new pavement. Cars and bikes again can access these sections of 5th Avenue.
Moving forward, you’ll still see crews in these areas as lighter construction work continues. The next phase of the work includes creating station platforms and finishing pedestrian walkways. Work will be quieter and new parking spaces soon will appear on 5th.
