The City of Renton began a pavement preservation project on Duvall Avenue between Northeast Fourth Street and Northeast 10th Street on July 25. The project is expected to be completed in the fall.

The project will extend the life of pavement by 12 to 15 years and includes:

• Resurfacing Duvall Avenue between Northeast Fourth Street and Northeast 10th Street;

• Constructing landscaped center medians just south of Northeast Sixth Street and just south of Northeast Eighth Street; and

• Installing radar speed signs.

Duvall Avenue Northeast is classified as a principal four-lane arterial that serves as an alternate route to I-405 connecting Renton to Newcastle and Bellevue.

Construction work will be performed during daytime from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be short-term daytime closures and reduced travel lanes on Duvall Avenue Northeast from Northeast Fourth Street to Northeast 10th Street from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. A full closure of Duvall Avenue Northeast for approximately 600 feet from Northeast Fourth Street north from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. is planned for up to three nights during the week of Aug. 29. Detour routes will be available on both Union Avenue Northeast and Hoquiam Avenue Northeast.

The project is following strict noise abatement guidelines. Paving activities will be permitted throughout the project at night.

Anyone hearing excessive noise during construction hours may contact the project manager Flora Lee at 425-430-7303.
