Construction
Event attendees should be aware of construction near Qwest Field and Event Center. Washington State Department of Transportation crews began construction of a new off-ramp from I-90 and I-5 to Edgar Martinez Drive S. and a new overpass on S. Royal Brougham Way in April 2009. This construction requires long-term road and lane closures on S. Royal Brougham Way, Fourth Avenue S. and Third Avenue S. Parking will be available at the Qwest Event Center Garage, though traffic will be constrained to one lane in each direction during events. Give yourself extra time to find parking and arrive at the event on time, and pay attention to vehicle and pedestrian signage. For more information about the SR 519 construction project, and details about lane closures and traffic configuration, see the SR 519 project website.
