148th Ave NE between NE 20th and Bel-Red Road is open

Utilities crews have completed repairs and restored water service after a water main break caused service disruption and a road closure. The road has reopened in all directions for the morning commute, and drivers should expect rough road conditions and active construction as permanent repairs are made during the next couple of weeks. City crews have placed warning signs in all four directions, alerting drivers to the uneven and bumpy road surface. Please use caution when traveling through the area. More info will be posted when available.

    Congestion reduction projects ease traffic congestion within, near and between neighborhoods, making it easier for people to get to homes, jobs, schools and shopping. Approximately $2 million of levy funding supports the Neighborhood Congestion Reduction program annually. Project descriptions, project costs and levy funding are subject to change. The following projects, along with all Levy-funded projects, can be found on an interactive map.
