The intersection of Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard, also known as state Highway 500, and 182nd Avenue will close Aug. 3 for 10 days while a roundabout is installed.
The intersection has a history of rear-end and T-bone crashes, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation; a roundabout will improve safety by reducing the potential for those types of collisions, while keeping traffic flowing through the intersection.
Additional construction work before and after the total closure will include single-lane closures during the day and night. In addition, during the 10-day closure, a temporary signal will be used at Northeast 88th Street and Ward Road.
