Puget Sound Energy Natural Gas Project

Crews from Puget Sound Energy and InfraSource will be working to replace portions of the existing underground natural gas main with new, corrosion-resistant plastic pipe. Traffic control flaggers and signs will guide vehicles and pedestrians safely around the project areas and there will be lane closures and revisions as crews move along the project route.

Gas main work in the Tree Farm Neighborhood is ongoing. Work will take place between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The gas main replacement on NE 8^th St is complete. Necessary asphalt restoration should begin in late October. Work on NE 8th St. will take place Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Rough Pavement Reminder: PSE’s recent gas work on NE 8^th St between 228^th Ave NE and easterly roundabout is temporarily covered with asphalt, but the surface is currently rough. Staff are aware of this are working with PSE to have the pavement restored to a better condition as quickly as possible. In the meantime, motorists and bicyclists are reminder to use caution when navigating the area with their motor vehicles.

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.

Extended overnight lane reductions and ramp closures planned on I-405 in Bellevue - September 15-18

This is a WSDOT project.

Crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will excavate and replace a damaged culvert under I-405 near the 112th Avenue Southeast/Lake Washington Boulevard Southeast (Exit 9) interchange. The repair work will take place from 11:00 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 15, until 9:00 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 18. These closures will cause significant delays throughout the weekend. WSDOT encourages travelers to plan ahead, allow extra time for travel and reschedule discretionary travel if possible.

Lane reduction and ramp closure details Over the four days of work, crews plan to excavate and replace the existing culvert underneath I-405 in three phases. The phased work schedule is:

• 11 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15, to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16: the southbound I-405 off-ramp to Exit 9 will be closed. Southbound I-405 will be reduced to two lanes between Coal Creek Parkway Southeast and Exit 9. Drivers wishing to exit southbound I-405 will detour to the Northeast 44th Street (Exit 7) off-ramp.
• 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17: all lanes of I-405 at Exit 9 will be closed. Drivers will use the Exit 9 ramps as the detour with flaggers directing traffic.
• 11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 to 9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18: the Exit 9 on-ramp to northbound I-405 will be closed. All other lanes and ramps will be open.

Detour routes available for full interstate closure Signed detour routes will be in place for the 23-hour full interstate closure. From 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, travelers will use the Exit 9 ramps as the detour with flaggers directing traffic. Travelers should expect heavier-than-normal traffic along those routes during the closures. For additional information regarding this closure, visit WSDOT's website, linked here.

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.

• Project End Point: Approximately 900' south of the intersection of SE 8^th Street / East Lake Sammamish Parkway SE

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.
