Seattle Public Utilities plans a community meeting in West Seattle next week to share updated details on the Fauntleroy Creek culvert replacement.

The underground culverts that carry Fauntleroy Creek and fish uphill from the cove are being replaced and enlarged. Major construction on the first section is scheduled to begin in 2027, and that phase is expected to close 45th Avenue Southwest north of the Endolyne business district for about two years.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse, Room 4, 9131 California Ave. SW.

SPU says the session will cover upcoming construction and traffic impacts for the 45th Avenue Culvert Replacement Project, which is the first portion of the broader Fauntleroy Creeks Culverts Replacement Program. Project manager Justin Record is expected to give a short presentation, followed by time for questions.

Early work on the project began this past summer.
