Northeast 10th Avenue is open to traffic. Some final work still needs to be completed, including planting the areas around the culvert and stormwater facility and establishing the plants. The planting is expected to occur between November 2022 and February 2023, with establishment work, including irrigation, occurring for two years after that. Until that work is done, there still could be occasional single-lane closures, but the roadway will remain open to traffic during any remaining construction. Read more here.

PROJECT HISTORY
The project completed the gap between Northeast 149th Street and the new bridge that was constructed several years ago. The roadway was improved to include two travel lanes, a center left-turn lane, bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as a signal at the Northeast 149th Street intersection. A new culvert was installed at the creek crossing just north of Northeast 149th Street, and the roadway surface (grade) was raised by as much as 15 feet. The intersection at Northeast 149th Street was raised by approximately eight feet. Other improvements included the construction of retaining walls, sanitary sewer main, water main and stormwater facilities.

FUNDING
Construction costs were between $8 and 9 million, including a federal grant for approximately a third of the costs.
