The SE 136th Street and 436th Avenue roundabout (RAB) construction is scheduled to continue this month.
PSE’s subcontractor, Potelco, will soon begin the removal of overhead power lines and poles at this intersection after a delay in parts and equipment availability. The overhead to underground conversion work should begin the week of January 2nd and run through February, barring any potential weather delays.
Construction of the new roundabout will recommence with the grading and pouring of new curbs, sidewalks, and street paving. This work will extend over a period of the next several months with a potential completion date around the end of Spring 2023. Motorists should expect lane closures with short delays through construction. Traffic control devices and flaggers will be onsite to direct traffic as needed.
The purpose of the RAB is to mitigate potential future traffic impacts in connection with the River Run Apartment project, located northeast of the new RAB. River Run will consist of 128 units in 11 buildings, with one additional building containing a clubhouse/office space. Approximately 28 of the new apartments will be designated as affordable housing for households earning 80% or less of the King County Area Median Income (AMI).
The City apologizes for any inconveniences caused by this project and thanks residents for their patience and understanding.
