2024 Pavement Overlays

Project Summary 

The City of Sammamish 2024 Overlay Project will consist of grinding, pre-leveling, and resurfacing of multiple streets throughout the City. The major items of work include effort to remove the top tlayer of existing pavement, perform pavement repairs, and then place a new layer of hot-mix-asphalt pavement and new pavement markings. The strees being resurfaced are shown on the maps at the bottom of this page, and listed below:

• Site 1 - SE Issaquah Fall-City Rd from Klahanie Dr SE to SE Issaquah-Beaver Lake Rd
• Site 2.1 - 216^th/217^th/218^th Ave NE from NE Inglewood Hill Rd to Main St
• Site 2.2 - NE 6th Pl from 216th Ave NE to NE Inglewood Hill Rd
• Site 2.3 - 216th Ave NE from Main St to cul-de-sac
• Site 2.4 - Main St from 216th Ave NE to 214th Ave NE
• Site 2.5 - 215th Pl SE from Main St to cul-de-sac
• Site 2.6 - 214th Ave SE from Main St to SE 1st St
• Site 2.7 - SE 3rd St from 214th Ave SE to cul-de-sac

This project is part of the City of Sammamish Pavement Management Program, which provides major street maintenance of roadways. This maintenance include street overlays, pavement rehabilitation, curb and sidewalk repair and appropriate Americans with Disabilities (ADA) retrofit work. Pavement overlay projects also replace pavement markings and vehicle detection loops for traffic signals. For more information on the Pavement Management Program, visit the link below.

Construction Information 

Timeline

Updated September 23, 2024

All contracted work for this project has been completed. 

 Site 2 Schedule (Completed)

Site 1 Schedule (Issaquah-Fall City Rd)

Hours of Work

Construction generally starts at 7:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm, daily. Actual start and end times may vary slightly depending on construction progress. If paving continues into the school year (August 29th), working hours will be changed to 9:30 am to 3:30 am.  

Traffic Control

Most streets will remain open throughout most of 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 will need to travel to the next traffic signal outside of 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 time 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 in advance of 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 be sure to have your waste and recycling out extra early.

School Bus Routes

If construction continues into the school year, school bus routes and schedule will not be changed. We will be working with the paving contractor and  local school districts to ensure unimpeded service in all neighborhoods.

Tree Trimming

Tree trimming may need to be done in front of your house. If there is vegetation in front of your property that extends out into the street, it will need to be pruned back to allow the equipment to do the street resurfacing. 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 needed to clear the road for paving and some additional trimming may need to be completed afterwards 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. If you are planning to have any underground utility work done, such as water, sewer, telephone, gas, electrical, etc., 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.
