Road Projects for the Week of August 28 - September 3
Ebright Creek Fish Passage Project Construction
Road Closure on East Lake Sammamish Parkway: Starting August 16 East Lake Sammamish Parkway at Ebright Creek (located approximately at 125 E Lake Samm Pkwy) CLOSED to thru traffic for the Ebright Creek Fish Passage Project. The closure will last a minimum of 3-weeks. Bicyclists and pedestrians can detour around the closure using the East Lake Sammamish Regional Trail.
Local access north and south of the closure area will be maintained, however thru traffic will not be permitted. The closure allows for completion of the new water and sewer systems, installation of the box culvert, and rebuilding the road. Additional notifications and message boards are posted and a signed detour is in place. Drivers should expect delays and consider using alternate routes.
Due to limited access during the East Lake Sammamish Parkway closure, Republic Services will begin garbage, yard waste, and recycling collection at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesdays, the regular collection day for homes adjacent to the closure. Impacted homes will be receiving calls from Republic on 8/23 and 8/30 as a reminder before pick-up. We ask homes that receive a call to please have your carts out by 6:00 a.m. on August 24 and 31.
