These road work projects are scheduled in Sammamish for the week of June 12 - 19.
SCHEDULES MAY CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER AND/OR EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY
4th Street: Streetscaping and Paving
On SE 4th St., in the next week or two – depending on weather – the top layer of pavement will be placed. This is expected to be a two-day effort. During the paving days, traffic will only be allowed to travel west; eastbound traffic will have to detour around the project. Work will also be starting on the 218th Ave. SE intersection, which had been on hold while a utility conflict was resolved. Other work for the next few weeks include landscaping, street signing, and utility manhole adjustments. Large vehicles should continue to avoid the roadway. Flaggers continue to manage traffic in a shared lane during hours of work. Typical work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During hours of work for non-paving days, two-way traffic will be sharing a lane controlled by flaggers. During non-work hours, traffic will be travelling in normal lanes.
Lane Closure on SR 202 (King County)
There will be a single lane closure with flaggers on SR 202 East and West Tributaries between Mile Posts 19 and 20, from 6/15 through the morning of 6/19, 8pm – 5am, for utility relocation work.
Traffic will still be allowed through the sites under flagger control during the lane closure.
Arterial Pavement Marking (King County)
King County will be doing pavement marking on main arterials citywide. Work was scheduled to begin today and may last a few weeks, depending on the weather. Working hours will be mostly during daytime normal construction hours (7am – 8pm). Among work that will be included is pavement striping, thermoplastic marking, and installation of raised pavement markings (RPMs). Pavement striping is a moving operation; please be alert and maintain your distance from striping vehicles.
Curb Ramp Retrofit Project
Our contractor continues to excavate and retrofit ramps on 228th Ave. SE between SE 21st St. and SE 10th St. The contractor will continue working on the east side of 228th Ave. SE and on one ramp per intersection at a time. This project will help update the ADA accessibility on City sidewalks in this area and is expected to take approximately two months to complete.
Issaquah-Fall City Road (IFCR)
Issaquah-Fall City Road remains closed for construction. Local access will be maintained during the closure. The closure between 247th Place SE and Klahanie Dr. SE is expected to last through December 2020.
- The temporary roundabout at SE Issaquah-Beaver Lake Rd./256th Ave. SE/SE 32nd St/E Beaver Lake Dr. SE is operational. Only final touch-ups are remaining, which are being scheduled once all the parts arrive.
- Construction of the bridge has begun. So far all of the underground shafts have been completed. The contractor is currently verifying the installation of the drilled shafts and will start constructing upward out of the ground. The area is closed to the public.
- Between 242nd and 247th Ave. SE, traffic has been shifted to the south side of the roadway. Work continues along the north half of the roadway in this area.
- The contractor will continue to work in the intersection of 247th Ave. SE near the middle school.
Please note that during peak delays, using the project detour route, Issaquah Beaver Lake Road to Issaquah Pine Lake Road, may result in shorter drive times. For more information and project updates, please visit the project portal on Connect Sammamish.
Work hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Bridge crews between Klahanie Dr. SE and 247th have started at 7:00 a.m., following the required health check-up. Road crews between 242nd and 247th have started at 7:30 a.m., following the required health check-up.
