Please use caution and follow traffic laws (RCW 46.61.183) when driving near a flashing or dark signal, meaning consider the signal an all-way stop.

Striping Maintenance Work

The striping maintenance work was postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions.

East Lake Sammamish Trail South Segment B Stage 1 Construction

The King County East Lake Sammamish Trail (ELST) South Segment B Phase 1 continues with construction. There will be traffic impacts related to the closure of the gravel surface trail segment which causes the re-routing of cyclists and pedestrians to East Lake Sammamish Parkway (ELSP). Additionally, there will be construction traffic on ELSP.

Road maintenance on 244^th Ave NE near Redmond Fall City Rd, (SR-202)

This is a King County Local Services Project.

King County Road Services Division is prioritizing 244^th Ave NE near SR-202 to receive snow and ice pre-treatment. Due to a slide occurring in winter 2020, both lanes of 244^th Ave NE are narrowed until the impacted support wall can be repaired. The repair of the support wall is expected to begin in Summer 2023. Soil samples yielded unexpected data, which caused the design phase to be extended. King County Road Services Division has a 24/7 Road Helpline - (206) 477-8100. More information on this project can be found linked here.
