City Awards Contract For Ballinger Way Roundabout To Start Late Spring 2026

On September 11, the Lake Forest Park City Council approved Resolution 25-2028 allowing the City to move forward with a contract with Johansen
Construction Company for the SR 104 and 40th Place NE Roundabout
project.

After a competitive bidding process in July, Johansen Construction Company was selected with the lowest responsible bid of $5.4 million. The total project cost is estimated at $8.6 million.

Construction is scheduled to begin in late spring 2026 and is expected to last approximately 18 months. Once complete, the roundabout will improve traffic flow and safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists and will feature new sidewalks, shared-use pathways, pedestrian crossings with refuge islands, and upgraded street lighting.

More information, including contract details, are available in the City Council meeting minutes. You can also learn more about the project on the City’s website.
