Road Projects for the Week of May 8 - 14, 2021

Utility Work on 238^th Way SE and Issaquah Pine-Lake Road

SEFNCO, a sub-contractor for Comcast will be doing utility work at the intersection of 238th Way SE and Issaquah-Pine Lake Road. Work will start on Tuesday, May 11^th and finish by Friday, May 14^th. Work hours will be between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day with traffic directed by police officers through the intersection.

Speed Limit Reinstated to 35 mph on 212^th Ave SE effective May 3^rd, 2021

The speed limit on 212^th Ave SE between SE 12^th Street and SE 18^th Street will be reinstated to 35 mph effective May 3^rd, 2021. Heavy rains in February of 2020 caused flooding of Ebright Creek which expedited the erosion of the gabion wall supporting the roadway. In the summer of 2020 out of an abundance of caution, the speed limit was reduced from 35 mph to 25 mph to reduce any excess forces or vibration that might expedite the erosion of the subgrade. The City hired a Geotechnical Engineer that produced a report and concluded that the difference in the speed limit between 25 mph and 35 mph does not significantly increase the rate of decay or erosion of the roadway subgrade. Therefore, the speed limit will be reinstated to 35 mph effective May 3^rd, 2021. This area will continue to require observation and maintenance until a permanent solution can be assessed and implemented.

• On Friday April 16^th, the roadway opened up to the public between 247^th 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 1^st, 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 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Saturday work hours: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
