Home My WebLink AboutTransportation (Aviation) Committee - 15 Jun 2026 - Agenda (2) I-405 RENTON TO BELLEVUE: FULL WEEKEND CLOSURE OF RIPLEY LANE NORTH 1. FOR FISH PASSAGE CULVERT CONSTRUCTION Public Works Department — Transportation Systems Division recommends adoption of a resolution authorizing a temporary full street closure of Ripley Ln North from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center north driveway to the Eastrail Trail Trestle Undercrossing to occur between June 26, 2026, and October 5, 2026 for the purpose of constructing a fish passage culvert supporting the I-405 Renton to Bellevue, Widening and Express Toll Lanes project. Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee 2 EMERGING ISSUES IN TRANSPORTATION 116tn Ave SE Sidewalk Project Update Transportation Benefit District • SUBJECT/TITLE: I-405 Renton to Bellevue: Full Weekend Closure of Ripley Lane North for Fish Passage Culvert Construction RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee DEPARTMENT: Public Works STAFF CONTACT: Jim Seitz, Transportation Director EXT.: 7245 . . . . • There is no fiscal impact to the city by adopting the resolution. � � • � • The I-405 Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Project is intended to increase the capacity of the I-405 freeway. The project also builds infrastructure for Sound Transit's Stride Bus Rapid Transit system including a new inline transit station at Northeast 44th Street in Renton. Bus rapid transit, paired with the ETL system, will provide more reliable transportation options for people. The contractor is requesting a full weekend closure of Ripley Lane North from north of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center north driveway entry to just south of the Eastrail Trail Trestle Undercrossing to complete construction of a fish passage culvert below Ripley Lane North to occur between June 26, 2026, and October 5, 2026. The contractor will complete the following activities during the full weekend closure: 1. Pavement removal and excavation, 2. Installation of the fish passage culvert, 3. Backfilling around the fish passage culvert, 4. Restoration of the excavated area, and 5. Paving and striping. The size and length of the precast culvert and the equipment required to set it do not allow the contractor to maintain one lane of traffic on Ripley Lane North using daytime closures. Completing this work in one full weekend closure minimizes impact on the residents along Ripley Lane North due to the shortened duration to complete the work. The contractor will construct a temporary detour to maintain access for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and emergency vehicles throughout the duration of the full weekend closure. Notifications will be provided to the public in accordance with the Public Outreach Plan in Exhibit A. 1 WSDOT's public outreach plans for the requested closure are attached in Exhibit B and include one flier for businesses and residences within proximity to the local road closure along with the localized detour plan. � • � � • Adopt the resolution authorizing one full weekend closure of Ripley Lane North from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center north driveway to the Eastrail Trail Trestle Undercrossing to occur between June 26, 2026, and October 5, 2026,for the purpose of constructing a fish passage culvert supporting the I-405, Renton to Bellevue, Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project. 2 � � � Washington State `�� A E � Department of Transportation N � I-405 Renton to BellevueWidening and ExpressToll Lanes Project Full Weekend Closure of Ripley Lane North for Fish Passage Culvert Construction Ripley Lane North: One full weekend closure—occurring between June 26, 2026, and October 5, 2026 Scope of work: One full weekend closure of Ripley Lane North to complete fish passage culver construction.
