On the Denny Way Bus Reliability Project, our goal is to make taking the bus on one of Seattle’s busiest streets faster and more reliable.
Denny Way connects Downtown and Capitol Hill and it's used by a mix of traffic within limited space. This leads to congestion and delays, especially for the Route 8. Our project focuses on practical changes like bus lanes and intersection improvements. These will help buses move more reliably and carry more people efficiently.

В рамках проекта по повышению надёжности автобусных перевозок по улице Denny Way мы стремимся сделать автобусные поездки по одной из самых загруженных улиц Сиэтла более быстрыми и безопасными.
Denny Way соединяет центр города с районом Capitol Hill и используется для движения различных видов транспорта в условиях ограниченного пространства. Это приводит к заторам и задержкам движения, в особенности на маршруте 8. Наш проект фокусируется на внедрении в улично-дорожную сеть таких реальных изменений, как создание выделенных полос для автобусов и модернизация перекрестков. Это поможет обеспечить регулярность движения автобусов и повысить эффективность перевозок большего количества пассажиров.

April 2026
What’s happening now?
Mayor Wilson has announced the launch of the Denny Way Bus Reliability Project and a plan to build a long-desired bus lane on Denny Way. This project will be delivered in phases, with near-term improvements beginning this May and additional upgrades planned later this year.
- Phase 1 focuses on the segment between Queen Anne Ave N and 2nd Ave N, where new bus lanes will support Route 8 as well as routes 1, 2, 13, 24, 33, and the D Line.
- Phase 2 focuses on the segment east of 5th Ave N, where a new eastbound bus lane will address the most significant reliability issue for Route 8: buses getting stuck in eastbound traffic headed to I-5 south.

About the Project
In August 2025, we shared near-term plans for changes on Denny Way after studying traffic patterns and identifying opportunities to help buses move more reliably, particularly Route 8.
Denny Way is a key east–west connection linking Downtown, South Lake Union, and Capitol Hill. Today, it serves a variety of users, including buses, freight, and regional trips, within limited street space. Route 8 carries approximately 7,000 riders each day and is one of King County Metro’s top ten routes by ridership. However, it has long struggled with reliability, particularly along Denny Way, where buses are delayed by heavy congestion, especially eastbound in the afternoon, as drivers try to reach I-5 south.
Project Map
Why we’re making these changes:
Route 8 is one of Seattle’s busiest bus routes, but it is also one of the least reliable. The goal of this project is to help buses move more reliably by reducing conflicts with traffic headed to I-5 south, improving transit priority, and making the street work more clearly for everyone using it.
What we’re doing:
This project will be implemented in two phases along Denny Way.
Phase 1 – West: Queen Anne Ave N between John St and Denny Way, and Denny Way between Queen Anne Ave N and 2nd Ave
- Install a southbound business access and transit lane in the center lane on Queen Anne Ave N between John St and Denny Way
- Install an eastbound curbside business access and transit lane on Denny Way between Queen Anne Ave N and 2nd Ave
- Install a bus priority signal at 2nd Ave so buses get a short head start before merging into general traffic
After Phase 1 installation, this segment will have two westbound general-purpose lanes, two eastbound general-purpose lanes, and one eastbound business access and transit (BAT) lane.
Phase 2 – East: Denny Way between 5th Ave N and Fairview Ave N, connecting to the existing eastbound bus lane at the east end
- Install a new eastbound curbside bus lane on Denny Way from 5th Ave N to Fairview Ave N
- Redesign the block between Fairview Ave N and Yale Ave N to:
- move the existing bus lane to the curbside lane and keep one eastbound general-purpose lane
- add a second westbound general-purpose lane
- connect the new Phase 2 bus lane into the existing eastbound bus lane
- Restrict turns to support bus reliability and the new access pattern:
- no left turn from eastbound Denny Way to Dexter Ave N
- no left turn from westbound Denny Way to Lenora St / Boren Ave
- no right turn from eastbound Denny Way to Yale Ave N
- close the Yale Ave slip lane
- Remove some parking on Boren Ave N in the block south of Denny Way
- Keep a gap in the new bus lane between 2nd Ave and 5th Ave, where traffic volumes are higher, more eastbound traffic leaves Denny Way at 5th Ave N, and the street is narrower than it is farther west
Once both phases are in place, we’ll monitor bus travel times and traffic patterns to see how the street is functioning. Based on those results, we may return to adjust the design as needed.
How traffic will work
The main change in Phase 2 is that Route 8 will no longer compete as directly with eastbound traffic queuing on Denny Way to reach I-5 south.
People driving to I-5 south will still have access, but the project shifts that movement into a clearer route: Denny Way to Boren Ave N to Howell St to the Yale Ave N on-ramp. That route will be supported by signal priority and wayfinding. Some drivers may also choose other southbound access points, including Mercer St, or shift longer trips to the SR-99 tunnel.
Service improvements
SDOT will continue working closely with King County Metro and community partners as the project moves forward. SDOT will fund additional bus trips on the Route 8 via the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure (STM), beginning in late August, and continue to partner to promote transit, walking, biking and rolling in the South Lake Union neighborhood.
These additional bus trips are part of a comprehensive set of investments made possible by the STM, which expires in early 2027. The STM invests in local bus and streetcar service to make public transportation better, more reliable, and more accessible for everyone in our city.
Schedule
- Phase 1 – West: May 2026
- Phase 2 – East: August 2026
Phase 1 will be installed by City crews over a weekend to reduce traffic impacts. Our current schedule is to start in mid-May.
What to expect:
- Working hours are 8 AM to 7 PM.
- Expect intermittent lane closures and slower speeds.
- Expect noise, dust, and vibrations.
- Work will not block access to driveways, alleys, or businesses.
- Installation schedules depends on weather, crew availability, and material delivery and may change.
