Road construction updates Road closures detours City of Sammamish

Sammamish, WALocal News

The City of Sammamish is currently focused on significant road construction updates, especially concerning the installation of underground high-speed fiber internet lines by Ziply Fiber. After a suspension of Right-of-Way permits on January 23, 2025, the City is collaborating with Ziply to address the encountered issues and reissue permits, primarily affecting 228th Avenue Northeast. To ensure community safety and oversight, the City is enhancing inspection coverage of active construction sites and improving communication with residents. The City is encouraging residents to report any concerns through the MySammamish platform and to subscribe to the Cone Zone newsletter for regular updates on road work. Furthermore, there's an ongoing temporary road closure on 187th Avenue Northeast, related to a City of Redmond development project, which necessitates detours for local traffic.

This proactive approach aims to keep the community informed and engaged throughout the construction process. Residents are urged to sign up for traffic alerts to stay updated on road closures and detours. Overall, these initiatives reflect the City’s commitment to maintaining infrastructure while minimizing disruptions to the community.
