Road storm damage continues to mount
The Road Services Division will ask the Metropolitan King County Council to approve supplemental funding later this week so many repairs can be made right away. At least three severely damaged roads will require more costly permanent repairs as part of the division’s major capital construction program. Roads sustaining the worst damage include: 17600 block of Southeast Newport Way in Eastgate (estimated damage: $4 million – $10 million)
Holmes Point Drive Northeast and Juanita Drive Northeast (estimated damage: $1.5 million)
Repairs to this road will involve stabilizing the slope, reconstructing the roadbed and repairing the guardrail. South 272nd Way, West of 55th Avenue South in Star Lake (estimated damage: $1.1 million)
A steep slope below South 272nd Way slid into a ravine severely damaging
the road shoulder and drainage system. Repairs will involve a
substantial reconstruction effort, including shoring up the road
shoulder and replacement of the culvert beneath the road. |
