Culvert replacement projects can be complex and lengthy due to the depth of the excavation needed for a large culvert and the number of utility lines that have to be relocated before the project can begin.
The King County Road Services Division is starting up several construction projects in June and July. Most of them involve road closures, some lasting as long as 10 weeks.
Here’s a brief run down of the bigger projects:
155th Avenue NE: Closed June 14-Aug. 31 between Northeast 146th Place to Northeast 150th Street for culvert replacement.
May Valley Road SE: Closed June 21-Aug. 31 just east of State Route 900 while the county builds a new bridge over the North Fork of May Creek.
West Snoqualmie Valley Road NE: Closed June 21-July 15 in the 7300 block (northwest of Ames Lake-Carnation Road) for a culvert replacement.
Southwest 100th Street: Closed June 21-25 in White Center between 13th Avenue Southwest and 12th Avenue Southwest for a culvert replacement.
NE 133rd Street: Closed east of Redmond at 198th Avenue NE from July 6-Aug. 12 for the installation of a very large culvert underneath the roadway.
