Ballinger Way To Be Closed Both Directions For 35 Days Starting Thur, Sept 4th

LFP Travel Advisory

Travelers should prepare for significant detours as the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) begins a major construction project along Lyon Creek.

Starting at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4, both directions of SR 104/Ballinger Way Northeast will be closed near 35th Avenue Northeast for at least 35 days. The closure includes all travel lanes and sidewalks.

The work is part of a WSDOT project aimed at improving fish passage in Lyon Creek. Crews and contractors will be on-site around the clock until the project is complete.

During the closure, signed detours will direct drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists around the construction zone.

WSDOT urges commuters to plan ahead and allow extra time for travel through the area.

The existing 6-foot by 4-foot culvert is too small and poses a barrier to fish. The culvert will be removed and replaced with a 24-foot structure.
