Starting as early as July 1, crews plan to begin paving and restoration activities on 81st Avenue Southeast (just north of North Mercer Way) and on North Mercer Way between 81st Avenue Southeast and Island Crest Way.
Grinding and paving
Crews will first grind the roadway to create a flat surface before paving and striping. Grinding is expected to be completed in one day. As early as July 2, once grinding is complete, crews will begin paving the road in areas where pipe repairs were made. Permanent paving and roadway striping are expected to be completed in one day.
To ensure safety, road closures will be in place during this work on North Mercer Way between 81st Ave S.E. and Island Crest Way.
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. See map below for more details.
