124th Avenue Northeast
Southbound 124th Avenue Northeast remains closed this week to automotive traffic between Northeast 116th and 124th streets while a Kirkland contractor grinds and repaves the roadway.
Reed Excavating will maintain the southbound closure 24 hours a day, seven days a week until Oct. 14.
The 124th Avenue Northeast Improvements contractor will detour southbound traffic onto Slater Avenue Northeast. Customers, however, will be able to access the Totem Square commercial area by turning south onto 124th Avenue Northeast from westbound Northeast 120th Street.
During the lane-closure, Metro King County will move a few hundred feet to the north a bus stop on Totem Lake Boulevard, which serves the 225 and 239 routes.
The detour will, for nearly two weeks, overlap with a road paving project on Slater Avenue Northeast, between Northeast 120th and 124th streets. Private developer Fairfield will work at night to repave a section of Slater Avenue Northeast. Fairfield is building The Brynn Apartments.
