Here’s a map of detour routes that Bill, Tamara and others have tested out. It involves short steeper climbing than Avalon, but will get you out of the single traffic lane and rough pavement currently on Avalon from Yancy/Andover to 35th Ave SW. Recommended especially for uphill southbound riding.
We are also asking SDOT for good detour signage and lower speed limit through the construction zone. We appreciate the Adonis and Sara’s outreach to us for biking safety.
Any way you choose to go, take special care on unfamiliar routes and with changing conditions. Let us know how it’s going.
