Traffic Advisory for S. 21st & C Streets
Published on
January 28, 2025
Starting Monday, February 3, the City of Tacoma will begin work on sewer system improvements at the intersection of S. 21st & C Streets. Construction is expected to take 4 - 6 weeks with an estimated completion time in late March.
This work will create major disruptions to pedestrian and traffic flow in the area including:
- Pedestrian crossing at 21st & C Street will be closed for the duration of the work. Pedestrians must cross at Jefferson or Pacific Avenues.
- Vehicle traffic on 21st Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction. At some points during the work, 21st Street will be closed entirely between Commerce and Jefferson.
- Parking along Dolly Roberson Lane and C Street will be limited to allow for two-way traffic flow.
- Access between 21st Street and C Street will be closed during construction.
Access to the Harmon garage, Autism Center parking and Cragle lots will be preserved. Please use caution and follow traffic control signage and flaggers. We recommend you avoid the area as much as possible and access campus from the 17th Street side.
For more information or questions, please contact Transportation Services at transit@uw.edu.
