• The new Alaskan Way/Elliott Way surface street is a hard-working street that provides critical mobility for people and goods not provided by the SR99 tunnel

• Unlike the Viaduct, the SR99 Tunnel does not provide access to Downtown Seattle or to northwest Seattle via Elliott and Western Avenues. The new surface Alaskan Way is critical to the SR99 Tunnel – it serves those missing functions. The new street is particularly important for freight, transit and ferry traffic, as well as providing local access to waterfront businesses and properties.

WHY IS THE NEW ALASKAN WAY/ELLIOTT WAY IMPORTANT?
