Regular drivers of Northeast 10th Avenue between Northeast 149th Street and Northeast 154th Street will need to find alternate routes beginning Monday.
About a quarter-mile of the road will be closed for 12 months to through-traffic to allow workers to reconstruct the road to include two travel lanes, a center left-turn lane, bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as a signal at the Northeast 149th Street intersection.
A new culvert will be installed at the creek crossing just north of Northeast 149th Street. As part of this project, the roadway surface will be raised as much as 15 feet and the intersection of Northeast 149th Street will be raised by approximately 8 feet. Other improvements include the construction of retaining walls, stormwater facilities and a sanitary sewer main and water main.
The work will be completed by Tapani Inc. of Battle Ground, which will begin work Monday on replacing an aging culvert.
