The work to remove the bus shelter has been rescheduled and will now begin on Monday, Dec. 9. Crews will demolish the westbound bus shelter on NE 45th St near 42nd Ave NE. The shelter is owned by Seattle Children’s and is located on the north side of the NE 45th St. The Metro bus stop will remain, only the shelter is being removed. Work will occur during daytime hours and will be ongoing for a week. Demolition of the concrete pad the shelter sits on will be noisy at times. Once the shelter is removed, the area will be replanted and blended with the surrounding landscaping. Metro Route 78 riders should use the existing westbound bus stop further up the hill on NE 45th St during this work.

Starting Monday, Dec. 2 work begins to upgrade lighting in areas of Parking Lot 4 and along Penny Drive. Work in Lot 4 will be done weekdays and will last about three weeks. Some staff parking will be restricted to allow space for crews to work around light poles (no patient and family parking will be affected). Work along Penny Drive will be done over two weekends: Dec. 7th to 8th and Dec. 14th to 15th. One lane of traffic along Penny Drive will be affected at a time and Security will be onsite to help direct drivers and pedestrians safely around the work area.

Building Care construction is underway. From now until building opening in Spring 2022, there will be ongoing construction activity at the hospital campus. Seattle Children’s will publish a weekly post on this Construction Blog that outlines the work expected to occur the following week. We will also post to this blog whenever a construction activity will be especially impactful to neighbors.

From Nov. 25 to Dec. 1, construction crews are scheduled to perform the following activities:

• Install rebar and pour concrete for walls, footings, slabs, and curbs
• Install support steel
• Prep work for structural steel
• Prep work on electricity transformer vault
• Set form panels for walls
• Excavation
• Backfill excavated areas
• Internal activities: install new pipe, wiring and pneumatic tube system pathways on Forest A, level 1; install blower for pneumatic tube system extension

Construction noise will be generated throughout the week. Expect heavy truck traffic, primarily for concrete and steel delivery. Construction activity is weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions.

All work will take place within standard construction hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. The construction site will be closed Thursday, Nov. 28 to Sunday, Dec. 1 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, Bartlett Tree Experts will remove two hazardous trees on NE 45th St. They will also be removing three trees on the interior of the Hospital Campus as well as trimming around lights on Penny Drive. Chainsaws and a chipper will be used, which will generate noise. The work will begin at 9 a.m. and is expected to last until 4 p.m.

The overnight sewer line work that was previously planned for Nov. 2 to Nov. 3 has been delayed one week and is now scheduled for this coming weekend.

The work will take place on the north side of the hospital from approximately 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, to 6 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 10. Noise will be generated, though impacts to neighbors are expected to be minimal. The sewer work is happening overnight to avoid impacts to the Sterile Processing and Receiving Departments, both of which must be functional during the day. We will hand-deliver notices to neighbors within 1,000 feet of the work area.
