Project Updates
Barnes Creek Trail – South 240th Street Improvements Project
Major improvements are underway to enhance connectivity and safety along the Barnes Creek Trail and South 240th Street corridor. The Barnes Creek Trail – South 240th Street Improvements Project will complete the southern segment of the Barnes Creek Trail between 16th Avenue South and Highline College, while also delivering roadway and pedestrian upgrades along South 240th Street from 16th Avenue South to 20th Avenue South. Project elements include roadway widening, new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, trail facilities, upgraded street lighting and traffic signals, undergrounding of overhead utilities, and replacement of the Highline Water District water main. The project was awarded to Ceccanti and approved by Council on August 7, 2025, with construction scheduled from December 2025 through December 2026. The $8.2 million project is funded through a combination of Sound Transit System Access, King County Metro, and Washington State appropriations, with construction costs estimated at $5.88 million. Upon completion, these improvements will significantly enhance safety, mobility, and access for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers throughout the area.
Redondo Fishing Pier Project
Construction of the Redondo Fishing Pier is progressing toward the finish line. Through the combined efforts of the City and the contractor, all in-water construction activities have been completed, including the installation of new steel piles and the removal of the existing timber bulkhead. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the project and ensures that the fishing pier will be constructed within the 2025–2026 fish window.
The contractor will continue to accelerate construction of the pier, the plaza’s ADA-compliant sidewalks and curb ramps, urban design amenities, and resurfacing of the Redondo Parking Lot, with a target project completion before the summer of 2026.
Vehicular and pedestrian access will continue to be maintained to the greatest extent feasible around the construction site. We appreciate the community’s patience and continued support as we work to complete the project on schedule.
Marina Dock Replacement Project
The Marina Dock Replacement Project continues to make steady progress. Construction of the M and N docks is complete, with only minor punch list items remaining. Work has now shifted to L Dock, where demolition is underway and expected to be completed this week. Once demolition is finished, the new L Dock will be floated in shortly thereafter, keeping the project moving forward on schedule.
