SPU Community Meeting: Fauntleroy Creek Culvert Replacement at 45th Ave SW

Posted: 11 Nov 2026

Seattle Public Utilities is hosting a public meeting next week for neighbors to meet the project team and learn about upcoming construction and traffic impacts for the 45th Ave SW Culvert Replacement Project — the first portion of the Fauntleroy Creek Culverts Replacement Program.

As West Seattle Blog reported, major construction of the first section is expected to start in 2027 and will close 45th Ave SW north of the Endolyne business district for about two years. Early work on the project began this past summer.

• Where: Fauntleroy Schoolhouse, Room 4, 9131 California Ave SW
• What: A short presentation by project manager Justin Record, followed by time for questions

Background

The underground culverts that carry Fauntleroy Creek — and fish — from the cove uphill through the neighborhood are being replaced and enlarged. FCA previously covered the start of early work in June 2026.
