This project is to repair a disconnect between the King County sewer line and the BNSF stormwater/sewer line under West Emerson Street. Work will entail demolition and replacement of roughly 125’ of storm drain that runs under West Emerson Street and 16th Avenue West. The depth will be up to 15’ at the deepest point.

One new catch basin will be installed in Emerson Street, and an existing catch basin on port property will be replaced. This work will require asphalt excavation in the roadway and repaving of the roadway. The project requires considerable traffic controls (Impacts several lanes of traffic on a busy roadway) located at 1795 W Emerson Street, Seattle, WA 98119.
