Construction Updates
Activation of New Traffic Signal & Removal of Poles
The new traffic signal at 68th Ave NE and NE 181st St has been activated. The intersection was previously a controlled four-way stop. The new traffic signal provides convenient and safe vehicle and pedestrian travel through this area. Please use caution when driving through the intersection. In addition, poles have been removed on the east side of 68th Ave NE between NE Bothell Way and NE 181st St. During the next several weeks the remaining wood poles in the project area will be removed and the Contractor will complete all sidewalk improvements.
