Bellevue Way Closed Against This Weekend For Light Rail Construction

From The City of Bellevue: Utility relocation work for East Link construction will continue this weekend on Bellevue Way Southeast. Sound Transit's contractor plans to close all lanes of Bellevue Way Southeast from Saturday, July 15th at 7 a.m. through 9 p.m. on Sunday, July 16th.

During the closure, all lanes of Bellevue Way Southeast between the Wye at 112th Avenue Southeast and I-90 will be closed. During the closure, all ramps between Bellevue Way Southeast and I-90 will be closed. Local access will be maintained to all residential driveways along Bellevue Way Southeast. Emergency access will be maintained.

Please read details in Construction Alert. Note: The City of Bellevue encourages commuters to seek alternate routes and not to drive through neighborhoods.

A look ahead....Sound Transit's contractor expects regular weekend closures to continue into the fall. However, weekend closures of Bellevue Way Southeast are not anticipated for the weekends of July 22-23, July 29-30 and August 5-6. A full closure similar to what will occur the weekend of July 15-16 is expected to be repeated over the weekend of August 12-13.

Beginning as early as Monday, July 24th, Southeast 15th Street will be closed for approximately three years, as crews begin preparing the area for construction of the road-over-rail crossing. Workers and visitors wishing to access Bellefield Office Park will use 114th Avenue Southeast from Southeast 8th Street.
