Lane Restriction on SE Issaquah-Hobart Road Could Affect those Avoiding SR 18
SE Issaquah-Hobart Road will experience a lane restriction from July 14 to July 21, limiting traffic to a single alternating lane due to shoulder maintenance and mowing. The restriction will occur on weekdays from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m.
, with flaggers managing two-way traffic. This work coincides with WSDOT's planned full closure of SR 18 from July 17 to July 25, making Issaquah-Hobart Road a likely detour for drivers. The lane restriction may increase delays for those trying to avoid the SR 18 work zone. All vehicles will have access during this maintenance period. Weather, staffing, or equipment issues could lead to rescheduling of the work.
The local community should stay informed through King County’s MyCommute website for the latest updates. This maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to improve road conditions in the area.
