Sammamish drivers beware, major roadwork began earlier today on 244th Ave. NE.

The city began paving operations from NE 11th Street to the northern city limits, just beyond NE 30th Place.

Grinding and patching will begin followed by paving. Residents are encouraged to plan for and expect significant delays during this work. If possible, vehicles should avoid using this route.

This is the second phase of a project to provide a safer travel route for pedestrians, bicyclists and cars.
