View north along Waterfront Park
laskan Way’s new form is taking shape at the north end of central seawall construction, along Waterfront Park. At the end of April the mass excavation trench still dominated the scene. Now, curb and gutter, sidewalks and other finished surfaces conceal the complex web of subsurface components. Paving is scheduled to begin June 23rd.
The end of June marks a transition point in the construction schedule, with the focus moving to the south end of the project through October 2015. Temporary pedestrian access will allow pier businesses to reopen for the summer tourist season.
Plenty of major utility restoration was completed in May. High voltage electrical duct banks were constructed.

North end of construction – waiting for final sidewalk segment
Here’s something of a cut-away view of the very north end of the finished wall construction, showing the various layers and components that make up the restored condition in the vicinity of Waterfront Park. This is the end of the season’s construction, so you see a bit of the transition to a temporary summer condition designed to maximize public access until construction resumes in October.
