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.
