Rainier Avenue S Project (SR 167)
South Grady Way to South 2nd Street
On Monday night, May 21, crews will begin clearing trees along Rainier Avenue S to prepare the roadway for construction. Work will continue nightly through the week, and some lane closures will be necessary to accommodate the tree removal. For more detailed information, view the schedule.
Work on the Rainier Avenue S Improvement Project began on April 30, 2012. The contractor, Johansen Excavating, is preparing the area for construction activities and staging project materials for future work. They are also marking the right-of-way in preparation for work in the roadway, sidewalks and medians. As the schedule of work is available for specific activities, updates will be posted on the website.
The City of Renton is improving Rainier Avenue S from S Grady Way to S 2nd Street, resulting in a safer and more attractive corridor for vehicles and pedestrians. When completed, Rainier Avenue S will have wider sidewalks, landscaped planter strips and medians, upgraded street lighting and improved transit mobility. Several underground utilities will also be relocated, including gas, electricity and telecommunications.
