Drivers can expect single-lane closures along South 212th Street in Kent between 72nd Avenue South and 84th Avenue South over the next few months.<\/p>\n
Crews will restore the roadway surface with a grind and new hot mix asphalt overlay, according to the city Public Works Department. The project also updates Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility.<\/p>\n
Work began June 7 and will continue through fall from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. This well-traveled road serves as a major thoroughfare to bring freight to and from the Kent Valley.<\/p>\n
A $1.4 million grant to the city from the Puget Sound Regional Council in 2018 will fund most of the $1.8 million project. The remaining funds will come from the city’s B&O taxes.<\/p>\n
The Kent City Council awarded Issaquah-based Lakeside Industries the bid for the project.<\/p>\n
Kent also received a $1.5 million grant in 2020 from the Puget Sound Regional Council to help pay for an estimated $3 million asphalt overlay project along South 212th Street between the Green River Bridge and Orillia Road.<\/p>\n
That project could go out to bid this summer depending on funding, according to Public Works staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
