WSDOT Enters Second Phase of Pavement Repair on SR 18

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has commenced the second phase of its pavement repair project on State Route 18, a vital route for local commuters. This phase will focus on grinding down damaged sections of the highway located between Issaquah-Hobart Road and Deep Creek, with the goal of applying new asphalt to enhance road conditions. Deteriorating roads pose risks to driver safety and can lead to increased vehicle maintenance costs, making this project crucial for the community. WSDOT has emphasized the importance of timely repairs to minimize travel disruptions for the thousands of vehicles that use this route daily. The project is slated to begin this spring, with updates being provided to keep residents informed about traffic patterns and potential detours.

Local officials have expressed their support for the initiative, highlighting the positive impact it will have on road safety and reliability. This repair project reflects a broader commitment to infrastructure improvement across Washington State. As work progresses, commuters are encouraged to stay alert and plan their routes accordingly.
