information from King County
King County contractors will begin storm drain work near the project site on Monday, June 15. Crews will use concrete saws, jack hammers, excavators, and trucks to modify storm drains along 48th Ave S.W., Lincoln Park Way S.W., and in the intersection with Beach Dr. S.W. Crews will work on one storm drain at a time to minimize traffic impacts. This work is expected to take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete.
Traffic delays of up to 15 minutes, parking restrictions, and sidewalk closures can be expected between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Flaggers and signage will be in place to safely direct vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic around the work site. Local and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
Storm drain work begins Monday, June 15.
The bus stop on the west side of 48th Ave S.W. near the intersection with Beach Dr. S.W. will be temporarily relocated north approximately 50 feet while crews work on the storm drain on the west side of the road. Please plan to board the bus at this new location and expect delays while work is underway.
To work on the storm drains, crews will cut through the roadway at each storm drain location, which can be noisy. Cuts will also be made along Beach Dr. S.W. and the access road south of Lowman Beach Park where future road work is planned.
Small concrete pours for the underground storage tank will continue while road work is underway. Pump trucks may arrive before 7 a.m. to set up before street work begins on pour days. Concrete trucks will continue to use the designated haul route to access the site.
