Construction on Coal Creek Parkway culvert begins May 15NEW — 1:30 p.m. May 10, 2013
Work is finally set to begin on a city of Bellevue project that will replace an aging culvert underneath Coal Creek Parkway.
The Bellevue portion of Coal Creek Parkway between Southeast 60th Street and Forest Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction for 24 hours a day until December, beginning May 15.
The city of Newcastle is doing all it can to mitigate the bottleneck that the all-day closure is expected to cause, including changing the timing of some traffic signals. Ultimately, though, drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes, especially during the morning and evening commutes. Read more »
