Newly constructed Elliot Way connecting Seattle waterfront to Belltown to open within 2 weeks
A ceremony on Monday marked the beginning of the end of a years-long project to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct and transform Seattle's waterfront.
Alaskan Way re-opened to traffic between King and Union streets in August of 2022. Elliot Way, the new surface street which will connect the waterfront and Belltown, was built in the footprint of the former Alaskan Way Viaduct and is nearly complete, according to information from the city.
The new section of the road is expected to open within the next two weeks which means Alaskan Way and Elliot Way will be open to traffic from the Stadium District at King Street to Bell Street on the north end.
The occasion was marked with a new honorary name for a portion of Alaskan Way and Elliot Way: Dzidzilalich (pronounced dzee-dzuh-lah-leech,) which is a nod to the important role the waterfront served for many different tribal communities who utilized the area.
