Residents and commuters in Sammamish can expect traffic disruptions and lane closures this summer due to scheduled maintenance and construction projects. Information from the City of Sammamish outlines several impacted areas, including locations from Klahanie Park to Sahalee Lane.
Hazardous tree removal is scheduled near Klahanie Park, with work taking place along SE 32nd St from 244th Ave SE to Beaver Lake Middle School starting tomorrow until July 25. The project will occur from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and may cause intermittent traffic delays as trees are removed. In addition, Sahalee Lane will be affected by geotechnical work from tomorrow through Wednesday, requiring a single-lane closure and the presence of flaggers between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., which may result in minor travel delays.
The Louis Thompson Tightline Project is also on the docket, with a 1-way detour on Louis Thompson Road extending through July 25 to allow for the construction of a soldier pile retaining wall. The extension is expected to mitigate potential impacts on residents and reduce the need for additional road closures by coordinating with overhead utilities.
PSE is set to begin grinding and paving operations at NE 37th Way and NE 38th St at 208th Ave NE, as well as at NE 16th St and 211th Way NE. The work, carried out by Lakeside Industries, is scheduled from tomorrow to July 23. Traffic control measures will be in place to direct both drivers and pedestrians safely through the affected areas. Additionally, as part of continued efforts to improve accessibility, right travel lanes may be temporarily closed from last Thursday to August 22 for sidewalk and curb ramp replacements. These closures will primarily affect 228th Avenue SE/NE and the intersections of SE Klahanie Blvd with 256th Avenue SE and SE 39th Way.
Pavement overlay work along West and East Beaver Lake Drive SE is expected to continue through the end of this month, resulting in periodic right lane closures and flagging operations. In addition, stormwater pipe inspections are scheduled at multiple intersections throughout Issaquah from Thursday to Friday, with only minimal traffic disruptions anticipated, according to a city announcement. Although permits for Ziply Fiber are currently on hold, related restoration activities from previous construction will proceed as necessary. These include surface replacements and sidewalk repairs to address impacts from earlier infrastructure work.
