On Monday, April 18, the eastbound curb lane on Redmond Way between Bear Creek Parkway and 160th Avenue Northeast (from the KFC driveway to the U.S. Health Works driveway) will close for an estimated three weeks.

This closure is necessary to facilitate the lowering of an existing Frontier Communications fiber duct bank in preparation for the City of Redmond’s summer construction of a major storm water trunk line.

The work, performed by North Sky Communications, will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays. The lane will remain closed both day and night.

During the construction period, only one lane will be available on Redmond Way for eastbound motorists. Message boards are in place on Redmond Way in advance of the work zone to alert drivers of the upcoming work.  Once the work begins, the boards will advise eastbound drivers to use Bear Creek Parkway as an alternate route.

Drivers are advised to exercise caution and patience through the work zone and take alternative routes when possible.

For more information, contact the city’s construction office at (425)-556-2723.
