Work is scheduled to begin the week of January 20 on improvements to the intersection of Lakemont Boulevard and Southeast 63rd Street/Cougar Mountain Way, and the intersection of Lakemont Boulevard and Southeast 62nd Street. Video
The work will improve traffic flow, intersection safety and access, by replacing stop signs with a new traffic signal. In addition, the contractor will add curb ramps that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act standards, along with irrigation and landscaping improvements.
Construction hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists should expect traffic delays and exercise caution when driving through a construction zone. The traffic signal is expected to be operating by August. More information is available on the project webpage.
