Traffic Signal & Street Light Pole Repaint
Crews are working on painting the poles on Southeast 30th Street along the South Sammamish Park & Ride and the intersection of 228th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 30th Street. The contractor will work on the poles individually starting from the west toward the intersection. Flaggers will be alternating traffic on Southeast 30th Street just west of the Park and Ride. When working at the intersection, the lanes will be partially closed to protect the work zone. The work is expected to last for three weeks and crews will be in the area from 8 p.m. - 5 a.m. Drivers should use caution when traveling through the area during this time.
Road Striping and Thermoplastic Markings Maintenance Work
The City will be performing striping and thermoplastic maintenance work on the city’s roads throughout the months of July and August to refresh existing fog lines, center lines, thermoplastic markings, and raised pavement markers. Thermoplastic markings include arrows, stop bars, bike symbols, and other markings in the roadway. This work will be occurring intermittently throughout the summer. Crews will place signage and warnings of wet paint, and drivers should expect delays and use caution.
PSE working on Louis Thompson Road power lines
PSE has rescheduled a final day of pole replacement on Louis Thompson, which will be Aug. 20 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. This will result in a temporary power outage for several residents. PSE has alerted affected residents on 210 Avenue Northeast who will be without power during the work on Saturday.
Due to the constraints of this replaced pole, PSE reports that this service line cannot be maintained in a “hot” condition during this work and appreciates residents’ patience as this work is completed.
Road maintenance on 244th Avenue Northeast near Redmond Fall City Rd (SR-202)
This is a King County Local Services project.
Due to a slide occurring in winter 2020, both lanes of 244th Avenue Northeast are narrowed until the impacted support wall can be repaired. Soil samples yielded unexpected data, which caused the design phase to be extended. The repair of the support wall is expected to begin July 8, 2024 and will last approximately six weeks. During this time 244th Avenue Northeast near SR 202 will be fully closed in both directions and a detour plan will be put in place. The King County Road Services Division has a 24/7 Road Helpline - (206) 477-8100. Please plan ahead for delays and extended travel times. For more information please visit the project webpage.
