Cone Zone

 

These are the road work projects scheduled in Sammamish for the week of Nov. 1 - 8.

SCHEDULES MAY CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER AND/OR EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY

UPDATE: Costea Estates Development

The developer is paving the internal roads on November 1. During this time expect delays related to construction traffic on 248th Avenue SE.

 

4th Street: Curbs and Gutters

Flaggers continue to manage traffic through the construction site. The majority of the underground utility work is complete. The contractor is preparing the remaining portion of the eastbound roadway for pavement and will be starting to grade the north half of the roadway to install curb and gutter. The initial layer of pavement is scheduled to be completed in early December.  

 

UPDATE: Issaquah Fall City Road

The general contractor (GC) has begun work along the corridor. Clearing activities and underground utility work are the emphasis. In addition, third party utilities, including PSE gas, Comcast, and Verizon are relocating facilities in the public right-of-way. Also note:

  • A temporary asphalt walking path has been finished on the north side of the road for students and pedestrians.
  • The Pacific Cascade Middle School (PCMS) sign will be removed soon. A replacement location and design will be coordinated with PCMS.
  • Rough grading has started for the stairs and walkway planned up to the middle school.
  • Some preliminary work may be done on the temporary roundabout at 256th Ave. SE / E Beaver Lake Dr. SE and SE Issaquah-Beaver Lake Rd. The roundabout is planned to be completed before the roadway closure begins for bridge construction in Spring 2020.

Traffic shifted to the north starting October 21; one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times. Work hours are 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

 

Verizon 5G

Crews are working along 228th between NE 8th and SE 8th to repair concrete; this work is within the limits of the sidewalk. Asphalt repairs will be made on both 228th and Inglewood Hill Road.
