Madison Bus Rapid Transit Update

Posted: January 30, 2022


The Seattle Department of Transportation is continuing construction on the Madison Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line adjacent to SU. The BRT will run along Madison Street from 1st Ave. to Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, creating a dedicated bus lane for most of the route, as well as new bus stops, sidewalks, utilities and other streetscape improvements.

During the next several weeks, expect to see SDOT contractors installing new traffic signal poles and other utility work along Madison adjacent to campus. Please keep an eye out for posted detours. See SDOT’s webpage for additional information. Contact Nathan Gregory, director of facilities planning and real estate at gregorna@seattleu.edu with any questions or concerns about impacts to SU.
