Sammamish, WALocal News

The article provides a detailed update on several key infrastructure projects in Sammamish, highlighting their impact on local residents and traffic. The ADA Barrier Removal Project aims to improve accessibility by replacing non-compliant curb ramps and damaged sidewalk panels along 228th Avenue Southeast, with work expected to conclude by September 18, 2024. In addition, Ziply is currently engaged in work on overhead communication lines along East Lake Sammamish Parkway, which commenced on August 26 and is anticipated to last for two weeks, potentially causing traffic disruptions. Furthermore, a significant road maintenance project on 244th Avenue Northeast is set to begin on July 8, 2024, in response to a landslide that occurred in winter 2020. This project will result in a full closure of the road for approximately six weeks while repairs to the support wall are conducted.

To assist residents during this time, the King County Road Services Division has established a 24/7 Road Helpline. Local authorities encourage community members to plan ahead for delays and extended travel times due to these ongoing projects. These efforts reflect a commitment to improving infrastructure and accessibility in the region.
