Announcements

  • NE 128th Way Culvert Replacement Project (Near Redmond)

    Per 8/3/26 King County Local Services email —
    As early as August 17NE 128th Way, just west of Avondale Road NE, will close for up to eight weeks while crews replace a deteriorating metal pipe with a larger, fish-passable concrete box culvert. The project protects the roadway from future failure while improving stream habitat.

    Traffic impacts: NE 128th Way will be closed to vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. A signed detour will use NE 116th Street, Avondale Road NE, and SR 202. Short-term closures at the Avondale Road NE intersection may occur while cranes place culvert sections. Sheriff’s deputies will direct traffic, and delays are expected. Check MyCommute for dates and visit the project website for detour information.
