Back in February we mentioned NE 125th Street would be repaved this year. This update is thanks to Lake City Live blog, from which I quote:
“Beginning in June, the Seattle Dept of Transportation (SDOT) will repave 125th from I-5 east to Sand Point Way, continuing south to NE 77th. During construction, expect the following:
- one lane traffic in each direction during construction
- full closure of I-5 north bound off-ramp for two nights
- full closure of the intersection at NE125th St and Lake City Way for two nights
- temporary parking loss
- temporary sidewalk and driveway closures
- construction noise and dust
While the project is mainly to repave the roadway, a few other improvements will be included. New handicap access ramps will be added to several intersections to help facilitate pedestrian crossing along 125th.
SDOT will also install what’s called a “pedestrian refuge island” at 20th Ave NE.
Lane striping and roadway configuration (ie, the bike lanes and road lanes) will remain largely the same, with the addition of a right hand turn lane westbound towards 28th Ave. This turn lane is to help facilitate access to the Lake City Library and Lake City Community Center.”
’bout time!!!
