Lane closures
There will be intermittent lane closures as needed for the life of the project. These lane closures may occur between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays. The location of the lane reductions will change depending on the needs of the work, and other variables like weather and permit windows.

Road closures
Motorists in the area are likely to experience some closures or delays during construction of this project. The County will strive to schedule any closures for the least possible impact–for example, any closures of N.E. Novelty Hill Road and N.E. Union Hill Road will be limited to weekends and to only one of these roads at a time.

The County will work with the contractor to minimize traffic delays and service interruptions and to complete work as quickly as possible. The County will coordinate with the state and the City of Redmond on road closures and lane reductions to avoid conflicts between projects in the same area.
