WSDOT’s Boyer Hillside Soil Work Explained | Seattle News

WSDOT is quietly hauling soil from Boyer Hillside as part of the SR 520 Portage Bay Bridge project — a move that’s been decades in the making, timed for the dry season to avoid landslide risks. While they admit they didn’t give residents much warning, they say the revised plan — after reviewing alternatives like trestles and conveyor belts — is safer and won’t create new environmental issues. Expect 24/7 parking bans on Boyer Avenue East through July, with more restrictions to come as they rebuild the hillside. This is about keeping the big project on track — and the hillside stable — without blowing up the neighborhood. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
