On Oct. 3, construction will begin on a water quality retrofit project along Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue from Northeast 83rd Street to Northeast 86th Street. The project includes installation of stormwater treatment basins and vaults to improve water quality in Cougar Creek, and downstream improvements to the stormwater collection and treatment system.

Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue will remain open during construction; however, drivers should expect delays and lane closures. The outer lane and bike lane on southbound Hazel Dell Avenue will be closed for the duration of the project. Drivers should watch for flaggers and signage directing traffic through the construction area. Access to local businesses will remain open.

Construction is expected to be completed by the winter of 2023-2024. Construction start and end dates are weather dependent.
