Road Projects for the Week of April 24 - 30, 2021
NE 8th Street natural gas main replacement
Starting 4/27, PSE and IFS crews will be replacing a portion of the existing underground natural gas main through a portion of NE 8th St and 228th Ave NE near the intersection of 228th Avenue NE and Inglewood Hill Road / NE 8th Street. Work is expected to last two weeks with work hours typically Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Throughout the work zone, there will be lane revisions with signs and traffic control flaggers guiding traffic. Street parking will be limited near the project area.
Pavement activity on SE 8th St.
Pavement activity on SE 8th Street between 214th Ave SE and 218th Ave SE and along 218th Ave SE north of SE 8th Street begun in preparation for new asphalt placement. One lane will be open through the day, and two lanes will be open at night with flaggers directing traffic. Work is scheduled to be finished Friday 4/23 but is subject to change.
228th Avenue Curb Ramp Retrofit and Catch Basin Repairs
Starting May 3rd, the City of Sammamish’s contractor will begin road work on 228th Avenue to retrofit curb ramps, install concrete catch basin aprons and install irrigation sleeve crossings from SE 8th St to NE 8th . This work is in preparation for the City resurfacing 228th Avenue in 2022 and benefits the City’s ADA Transition Plan goal of retrofitting all public facilities to meet the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Lane closure hours through the work zone will be between 8:00am and 4:00pm Monday through Friday. Traffic will be merged to one lane through the work zone and steel plates are anticipated to be on the roadway overnight.
Issaquah Fall City Road
The closure between 247th Place SE and Klahanie Dr. SE is open as of 2:30 PM on April 16, 2021. There are many people, businesses and organizations to thank and acknowledge. Stay tuned for a ceremonial ribbon cutting video with community acknowledgements. *Safety Reminder – Please observe the contractor’s “Sidewalk Closed” and “No Trespassing” signs at all times.
- On Friday April 16th, the roadway opened up to the public between 247th PL SE and Klahanie. During work hours the public will still encounter short term (day time) lane closures as necessary to complete punchlist work. One of the significant items of work to occur after the opening of the roadway will be third party utilities taking a lane to finish installation of their vaults, lids, and make their necessary connections.
- By May 1st, all punchlist work is schedule to be completed and traffic control will not be on the road until the contractor returns in June to begin the excavation for the stream mitigation work. We anticipate the third party utilities will be competed with this work by May 1, though this date is subject to change.
Daytime project work hours are 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM, Saturday work hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
