Warmer days are on the horizon and so is Roads’ bustling construction season.

Longer days and dry weather make for a perfect roadwork combination, so our crews work hard to complete projects during the summer before the weather turns gray and wet again.  

With tons of concerts and events happening throughout the Snoqualmie River Valley, we want to make sure that you stay informed.  

The first project scheduled will take place on Ames Lake-Carnation Road NE, across the river from Carnation. King County will replace the 100-year-old Ames Lake Trestle Bridge, beginning in late June. The new bridge will not have vehicle weight restrictions and will improve sight distance by widening and straightening the road.

This is the view heading southbound on 244th Avenue NE. The damaged wall is located below the shoulder, to the right of the guardrail.

We’ll also head to 244th Ave NE near Sammamish to repair slide damage that was incurred during winter 2020. We will replace a damaged retaining wall located below the north side of 244th Avenue NE near Redmond Fall City Road. King County is committed to completing construction on this busy school bus route during the summer months when school is not in session.

Ames Lake-Carnation Road NE, between West Snoqualmie Valley Road NE and NE 52nd Street, will be closed at the bridge location for up to eight months starting in late June 2024. 

We’ll be staying busy this summer, so make sure that you stay up-to-date on upcoming projects and closures with MyCommute: kingcounty.gov/MyCommute
