Construction on Overlook Walk has been busy. We have built 17 multi-story concrete columns that’ll support the bridges, placed pre-cast concrete beams, installed shoring towers to support the false deck, constructed the “false deck” for workers and the installation of forms, installed hourglass shape curved foam forms and began placing concrete on the upper deck.
Construction schedule*
*Waterfront Seattle construction was delayed into 2025 due to COVID-19 impacts and a lack of concrete delivery availability between December 2021 and April 2022 as a result of a concrete strike in King County. We have assessed the overall program delay impacts to implement mitigation strategies. The schedule below is in the process of being updated to reflect our current construction timeline, updates will be live on this page soon.
