Martin Way Park & Ride: Direct Access Construction Update

What is happening?

Upcoming concrete demolition and trenching for new utility lines will impact drive aisles and some parking spaces in the Martin Way Park & Ride. The lot will remain open during construction.

When will this take place?

Beginning April 3, 2023, with the initial work lasting approximately two weeks. New walkways will be poured and placed between the last week of April and early May. The duration of the activity will be four to five weeks.

Where will the trenching be? 

Trenching will take place in the vicinity of the pedestrian walkway that connects Martin Way and the north side of the main parking area.

What will the impacts be?

Users will see orange construction fencing around closed areas near the walkway where work is underway. These areas will include the closure of adjacent parking spaces to provide a buffer for work and users. During trenching, one of the three drive lanes connecting the lot may be closed, requiring lot users to use one of the other entry/exit aisles. Steel plates will temporarily cover drive lanes during construction and between work phases. Fencing will be placed to delineate closed parking areas during the utility trench work and site updates will be provided as conditions change.

The sidewalk on Martin Way is expected to remain open. However, there will be short term closures when work is being done under sidewalk areas where utility connections are being completed.

Park & Ride users should plan for these activities and use caution around work areas. Please watch for pedestrian traffic and pay attention to all site traffic control measures and advisories, observe signage, and use caution around work areas.

Construction at Martin Way Park & Ride to begin on March 10

Beginning March 10, 2023, construction at the Martin Way Park & Ride will reduce available parking at the facility by about 50 percent and require relocation of the bus stop onsite. The parking area closest to Martin Way will remain open during construction; however, the rear parking area (closest to the freeway) will be closed to traffic and pedestrians. During construction the bus stop used by passengers of Route 620/Olympia Express will be relocated to the east along the sidewalk adjacent to the facility exit lane. Construction areas will be fenced and marked during the project, which is expected to last five months. 

Please plan ahead for reduced parking, pay attention to all posted signage during construction, and park only in designated areas. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the facility and transit service for our customers. Please call Customer Service with questions at 360-786-1881.
