Sammamish 2023 Overlay Project

The City of Sammamish 2023 Overlay Project will replace the top pavement layer on selected streets within the Hunter's Ridge and Klahanie neighborhoods. The significant items of work include an effort to remove the top two inches of existing pavement, perform pavement repairs, and then place a new layer of hot-mix-asphalt pavement and new pavement markings. 

The streets being resurfaced are:

• 247th Pl SE / 246th Ave SE / SE 43rd Pl / 244th Pl SE From SE 46th Pl to SE 42nd Pl

• Klahanie Dr SE From QFC Driveway to 252nd Ave SE

Construction is planned to begin on September 5th and continue through September 29th. Please check the project website for updates to the project schedule.  

Construction Information

(This information will be updated as work progresses)

Below is a work schedule for neighborhoods where the City will be paving this year. Based on actual construction progress, the anticipated start dates below are subject to change. 

The contractor will post no parking signs as work gets closer in each neighborhood. The time restrictions for parking are typically 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Detailed Description

The following is a daily description of work activities. This order of work could be adjusted at any time to accommodate weather or unforeseen circumstances.

Hours of Work

Construction generally starts at 7:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm, daily.

Traffic Control

Most streets will remain open throughout the construction, but traffic will be reduced to a shared lane controlled by flaggers. There will not be enough room for U-turns in the work zones, so drivers wanting to turn around must travel to the next traffic signal outside the work zone.

Driveway Access

Most of the time, driveways and intersections will remain open. In cul-de-sacs, crews will work with the residents to temporarily close the cul-de-sac so that paving operations can be completed quickly. During the actual paving process, there is typically a two-to-three-hour period where access to driveways is not allowed. This is time needed for the pavement to cool and harden before traffic can drive on it.

On-Street Parking

On the days of construction, on-street parking will need to be restricted. Signs will be posted before the work to notify residents of the parking restrictions.

Waste & Recycling Schedule

The waste and recycling schedule will not be changed due to construction. When days of paving and waste collection coincide, we work with the collection service to adjust their route schedule and focus first on the streets that are being paved. If there is construction in your neighborhood, please have your waste and recycling out extra early.

Tree Trimming

Tree trimming may need to be done in front of your house. If vegetation in front of your property extends out into the street, it will need to be pruned back to allow the equipment to resurface the street. Please trim the vegetation along your property if this is the case. City crews or the Contractor will trim vegetation as needed for the project. However, they will only be doing the minimum required to clear the road for paving, and some additional trimming may need to be completed afterward by the adjacent property owner.

Street Cuts

Ordinance #02001-78 prohibits the excavation of resurfaced or newly constructed roads for a minimum of five years following construction or paving. Suppose you are planning to have any underground utility work done, such as water, sewer, telephone, gas, electrical, etc.. In that case, you are strongly encouraged to expedite this work if it involves utility work under the new pavement. Please call us as soon as possible to coordinate this work.
