PROJECT SCOPE
This project involves construction of a non-motorized shared-use path along the Pacific Hwy S corridor from S 308th St to S 288th St. The non-motorized improvements will consist of a path/trail that for portions of the alignment will follow parallel to Pacific Highway S and for portions of the alignment will be located within the (partially unopened) right-of-way for 16th Ave S. The segments of the trail located off-roadway will include pedestrian-scale illumination for safety.
Once constructed, this path will provide non-motorized access to the City of Federal Way's City Center, as well as to Des Moines' local downtown center, located north of the project limits. This project will also eventually tie into the greater regional trail network with connections to Kent, Auburn, SeaTac, and beyond.
SCHEDULE
Design of the proposed improvements is continuing.
This project will be constructed in two phases.
- Phase 1 will be from S 304th Street to S Dash Point Road.
- Phase 2 will be from S 308th St to S 304th St AND from S Dash Point Road to S 288th St.
Construction of Phase 1 has been awarded to Active Construction, Inc. of Puyallup. Construction is underway and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025.
Construction of Phase 2 is expected to begin in the spring of 2026.
