Many of you have noticed the fencing and the construction trailers near the BG at Rainier Vista. Below is a description of the project- UW is lucky to have a brilliant construction manager at the helm, Bob Dillon, who just happened to be the construction manager for the Paul G Allen Center for CSE.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Montlake Triangle Project (MTP) is a multi-agency effort consisting of three
subprojects centered around the intersection of Pacific Street and Montlake Boulevard.
The project scope includes lowering NE Pacific Place and constructing a land bridge that
will connect the Montlake Triangle and the lower Rainier Vista with a seamless pedestrian
experience. Transit patrons will access the triangle via a combination of existing
crosswalks and a new bridge across Montlake Boulevard. The MTP subprojects will be
constructed sequentially and scheduled to minimize impact to adjacent work projects.
These subprojects consist of the following elements:
• Montlake Pedestrian Bridge–Subproject 1 (SP1) – This project will provide pedestrian
and bicycle connections between the future light rail station at Husky Stadium and the
Montlake Triangle. Sound Transit is managing design and construction of this $11.4
million project.
• Rainier Vista Land Bridge–Subproject 2 (SP2) – This bridge will span Pacific Place
and connect the Montlake Triangle to Rainier Vista. The UW is managing design and
construction of this $20.8 million project.
• Rainier Vista Land Bridge Site Improvements–Subproject 3 (SP3) – This project will
provide landscaping, hard surfacing, lighting, and other site improvements from
Stevens Way through the Montlake Triangle. The UW is managing design and
construction of this $4.5 million project.
