Come with us to repair some pavement! Contractor crews working for King County have been hard at work on the NE Big Rock Road Pavement Project, where they are repaving 3.23 miles of roadway between the Duvall city limits and Kelly Road NE. Before paving began, crews needed to repair damaged sections of pavement. Swipe through to see one of those repairs, where a tree root had grown beneath the roadway and caused damage.

Recent rainy weather has delayed the project by a few days. Because paving is highly weather-dependent, roads must be completely dry for asphalt to properly adhere. For the latest construction schedule updates, visit KingCounty.gov/MyCommute or use the link in our bio.

As a reminder, the road is reduced to a single lane on weekdays from 7 am to 6 pm while construction is underway. Flaggers are directing two-way traffic through the work zone, and travelers should plan for delays of up to 20 minutes.

Learn more about the project at KingCounty.gov/NE-Big-Rock-Road.

Last month our Road Services crew completed a drainage improvement project on SE Petrovitsky Road near 151st Avenue SE in Fairwood, one week ahead of schedule! 

They repaired sections of the rusted and deteriorating metal pipe and installed a new durable plastic pipe to help protect the drainage system for years to come. 

Swipe through to see photos from construction! Thank you to the community for your patience while crews completed this important repair. 

Slide one: Crews prepare sections of a new polyethylene pipe before lowering it into the trench for installation.

Slide two: Crews use chains and specialized tools to connect the first two pipe sections.

Slide 3: Crews lower the pipe into the trench to install inside the existing culvert.

Slide 4: A new utility hole is installed to help move water through the drainage system.

The Department of Local Services was out in community again this weekend!

Check out our own B**g Sto. Domingo, who first was in White Center for the White Center Food Bank fundraiser. Then he was in Skyway the next day for King County Parks Skyway Park Community Celebration! 🎉

At Road Services, winter weather preparation starts long before the forecast calls for snow. Our crews are already testing equipment, stocking materials, and making sure plows are ready for the season ahead.

You may see our plows or trucks out on the road running routes to gear up for the season ahead. Please give them plenty of space so they’re ready to keep our roads moving when winter weather hits.

For more information on how to best prepare for snow and ice season, visit KingCounty.gov/road/snow or hit the link in our bio.

Beginning October 12, King County Road Services crews will close a small portion of SE Jones Road, near house number 17817, 24/7, while they replace a culvert beneath the roadway.

The closure is expected to remain in place through late November. Please plan ahead and use alternate routes during construction. This work is an important investment in our drainage infrastructure and helping protect the road for years to come.

For project updates and more information, visit KingCounty.gov/SE-Jones-Road

Slide 1: Inside the culvert under SE Jones Road, the small metal pipe is getting blocked by rocks and dirt. This slows down the water, and the pipe is also getting rusty and wearing out.

Slide 2: The current 3-foot-wide pipe is deteriorating and contributing to the pothole in this photo.

Slide 3: Map of the project area.
