The City of Tacoma will close southbound Schuster Parkway between South 4th Street and Pacific Avenue Feb. 10 for work to improve storm drainage and prevent flooding. The work does not impact the major freight routes for moving cargo to or from the Port.

The closure is expected to last through March 21. Northbound lanes are not affected.

Detour signs will direct southbound traffic from Schuster Park

way to South 4th Street, Dock Street and downtown or I-705 via the South 15th Street ramp. Find a map of the detour route.

The Schuster Parkway sidewalk is also closed for up to three weeks. Signs will notify pedestrians when the sidewalk is closed, and the pedestrian detour is the same as the vehicle detour.
