Public Works Projects

Project Overview

This project will remove and replace existing pavement on SE 182nd, between SW 5th Drive and SE Division St.

Project map

Schedule

• Work is scheduled to begin mid-August
• Work hours will be from 7 am to 8 pm 

Improvements

This section of 182nd will be treated with Inlay to fix the portion of the pavement that still has a good foundation. The top layers of the pavement will be milled (grinding the upper layers of asphalt) to remove any cracks, ruts or imperfections. A new layer of asphalt will then be applied, creating a smooth road way. The work includes improvements to sidewalk ramps and driveways. 

What to expect

• Electronic message boards will be placed on-site, announcing the closure dates a few days ahead of work.
• A final notice will be delivered to directly affected residents at least 24 hours prior to beginning work.
• The failed street surface will be removed with a large milling machine. New asphalt will then be laid by paving machines and rolled into place.
• All roads will be re-opened to traffic at the end of each work shift.

Traffic and neighborhood impacts

• Residents will be accommodated; however, delays should be expected.
• One lane in each direction will be open to through traffic. Please follow detours through your neighborhood.
• Construction dates are weather-dependent and subject to change.
• If you live on 182nd and work falls on your garbage/recycling/yard debris collection day, place carts out the night before.

Background

In December 2015, during a historic rain event, debris accumulated in the inlet of the Kelly Creek culvert under NE Kane Drive. The debris in the culvert blocked the flow of water through the culvert resulting in a washout of the road. Emergency repairs were completed immediately after the storm to reopen the roadway and maintain creek flow.

 The City has received relief funds to repair the culvert, roadway and surrounding creek area.
