Crews to repave portions of SR 104 (Ballinger Way) near Lake Forest Park

Starting next week, crews will begin repaving sections of State Route 104 (Ballinger Way)  in Lake Forest Park.

To complete this work, Washington State Department of Transportation crews will alternate traffic on SR 104/Ballinger Way NE between 19th Avenue N.E. and N.E. 178th Street daily from 9am to 3pm Monday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 18.

Crews will repair the pavement where potholes, cracks and ruts have formed in the roadway. Drivers should anticipate 10-15 minute delays as they travel through the work zone or consider using an alternate route. Additionally, travelers who use this roadway regularly should be aware that workers will not remain in the same location. They will complete repairs at one site and then move to another, working east to westbound on SR 104. When it’s complete, drivers should notice a smoother ride on SR 104 between Interstate 5 and State Route 522 in Lake Forest Park.
