The pavement surrounding Evergreen Hospital is experiencing some of the most significant wear in the City. This project will overlay or conduct a full-depth reconstruction of several key roadways around the hospital, improving roadway quality and decreasing future maintenance needs while enhancing safety and comfort for all travelers.
Area of work
• Repair and replacement of adjoining damaged concrete curb, gutters and sidewalks as well as installing accessible curb ramps to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at various locations with the project area.
• Road reconstruction: 120th Avenue Northeast (Northeast 128th Street to Northeast 132nd Street)
• Road reconstruction: Northeast 128th Street (120th Avenue Northeast to Transit Center)
• Concrete Intersection Conversion: 120th Avenue Northeast/Northeast 128th Street
• Overlay: 124th Avenue Northeast (Northeast 130th Lane to Northeast 132nd Street)
• Overlay: Northeast 130th Lane (120th Avenue Northeast to 124th Avenue Northeast)
• Overlay: Northeast 128th Street (Transit Center to 124th Avenue Northeast)
Daytime and Nighttime Work
Construction hours will vary depending on the operation and location.
Night Work
The most disruptive work along 120th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 128th Street such as pavement removal and rehabilitation will occur overnight.
During nighttime activities, crews will use best practices to reduce noise and light impacts to the surrounding community.
Day Work
Daytime work will occur for lower-impact operations and/or where nighttime work would not be appropriate. Daytime work will occur along Northeast 130th Lane to avoid disturbances to sensitive NICU patients at Evergreen Hospital.
Expected Traffic Impacts & Detours
Normal traffic patterns will be affected throughout the project corridor. Drivers should expect delays, detours, and reduced lanes depending on the phase of work.
Detours
• 120th Avenue Northeast, Northeast 128th Street, and Northeast 130th Lane will operate with one‑way travel during certain phases.
• Marked detours will guide travelers through/around the area.
• Each detour phase is expected to last no longer than two weeks.
•124th Ave Northeast will remain open to two-way traffic but will experience delays.
Driveway Access
120th Avenue Northeast
• Access will be limited during nighttime construction.
Northeast 128th Street
• Nighttime access will be limited, except for Memory Care & Assisted Living facilities, Totem Lake Heights and Evergreen Health's East Parking Garage which will maintain access at all times.
• The Totem Lake Transit Center vehicle entrance and exit will experience restrictions during roadway reconstruction phase of eastbound Northeast 128th Street as well as the concrete intersection conversion at 120th Avenue Northeast/Northeast 128th Street.
Northeast 130th Lane & 124th Avenue Northeast
• Short-term, temporary restrictions may occur during asphalt grinding and paving operations.
