This Week's Message
Sanctification | Philippians 2:12-13
-----
Pastor: Jacy Armbruster

PORTION OF LAKEMONT BOULEVARD TO CLOSE FOR EIGHT MONTHS • Drivers traveling Lakemont Boulevard will encounter a detour starting as early as Tuesday, October 24th. The street is expected to be closed for eight months between Forest Drive and 155th Avenue for emergency construction of a bridge over Coal Creek. The detour will direct drivers along Forest Drive Southeast to Coal Creek Parkway, then connect to Newcastle Golf Club Road.

The City of Bellevue declared an emergency earlier this year to address public safety and environmental hazards caused by a failed culvert where Lakemont Boulevard crosses Coal Creek. The culvert can no longer ensure adequate flood protection or road stability due to erosion and aging infrastructure. The city is building a bridge to secure the stability of Lakemont Boulevard at the location of the culvert. In the interim, the city is conducting daily monitoring of road stability.

“We understand the impact this closure will have on drivers traveling Lakemont Boulevard and appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we work diligently on this accelerated emergency project,” said Lucy Liu, director of Bellevue Utilities. “Public safety is our top priority, and it’s imperative this work is done to ensure the ongoing stability of the roadway.” See below to review the latest project updates.
