These road work projects are scheduled in Sammamish for the week of April 17-24.
SCHEDULES MAY CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER AND/OR EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY
Please Note: Usual limited work hours of 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. are suspended while local schools are out of session. Summer hours of 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. will apply until further notice.
4th Street: Sidewalks and Median Islands
Significant changes are underway. The contractor is working on the center medians and roundabout islands. Please use caution at the roundabout intersections: It is going to be tight for a while. The approach lanes to the intersections will have plenty of space for vehicles once constructed, but not all of that space is currently available. Large vehicles should avoid the roadway for now. During hours of work, two-way traffic will be sharing a lane controlled by flaggers. During non-work hours, traffic will be travelling in normal lanes.
Other project work includes:
- The new right-turn lane for eastbound traffic on 228th Ave., which will require a temporary southbound lane closure
- Irrigation installation and sidewalk paver block installation between 224th Ave. SE and 225th Place SE
- Work on 218th Ave SE and 225th Place SE next to SKY Apartments.
Flaggers will be managing traffic through the work zone. Typical work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
228th Catch Basin Repair
Work to repair the catch basins is nearly complete on 228th with only clean-up work remaining. Work hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Drilling on SE 48th Street
A drill job for new cable will occur on SE 48th Street between 231st Place SE and SE 51st. This job is expected to last for approximately one week and is expected to create minor traffic delays.
Issaquah-Fall City Road (IFCR)
- The temporary roundabout at SE Issaquah-Beaver Lake Rd./256th Ave. SE/SE 32nd St/E Beaver Lake Dr. SE is operational. Remaining work is expected to be completed on Monday, April 20th.
- PSE Electric, Comcast, & Century Link are completing their removal and relocation of their services between 247th Ave SE and Klahanie Blvd.
- Final preparation for paving along the south half of the roadway between 242nd and 247th Ave. SE continues. Paving started on Friday, April 17 and is scheduled to be completed during the week of April 20th.
- Starting Monday, April 20th, the bridge construction between 247th Ave SE and Klahanie Dr SE will begin. The drillers will be mobilizing on site and start drilling the concrete bridge columns. The area will be fenced off from the public.
Please note that during peak delays, using the project detour route, Issaquah Beaver Lake Rd to Issaquah Pine Lake Road, may result in shorter drive times.
Work hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
CLOSURE NOTICE: Issaquah Fall City Road closed for construction.
- Local access will be maintained during the closure.
- Beginning April 18th, the roadway closure will remain between 247th Place SE and Klahanie Dr. SE. This closure is expected to last through December 2020.
