24-Hour Road Closure on North Mercer Way between 80th Ave S.E. and Island Crest Way as early as April 28
Expect noise, vibrations, and detours for pipe repair work
As early as April 28, King County's contractor will begin pipe repair work on North Mercer Way between 80th Avenue Southeast and Island Crest Way. To ensure safety, road closures will be in place on North Mercer Way between 80th Ave S.E. and Island Crest Way and at 81st Ave Southeast and North Mercer Way. This work involves a construction method called open-cut trenching. During open-cut construction, crews sawcut the roadway’s surface, remove asphalt, and dig down to the pipe.
Local access:
Residential access will be maintained. Mercer Isle Condo residents will be able to access their homes from 81st Ave S.E. and Southeast 24th Street.
Detours:
Detours will be in place for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians to allow safe movement around the work area. Detour routes are located on surrounding local streets. This includes 80th Ave S.E., S.E. 27th St, and Island Crest Way south of I-90 and S.E. 26th St, 84th Ave S.E., and S.E. 24th St north of I-90. Please follow all detour signs and travel slowly around the work area.
We understand that these detours are inconvenient. We appreciate your patience as crews work to complete construction as safely as possible. If you have questions about access, please call our construction hotline at 425-305-3578.
This closure is expected to continue through early June as crews work to complete the repairs safely and efficiently. This work is permit-dependent and is pending approval from the City of Mercer Island and Washington State Department of Transportation.
Please travel slowly through the area and follow all signs, traffic control signals, and directions from crews.
