Both directions of State Route 104/Ballinger Way NE in Lake Forest Park will close near 35th Ave NE for at least 35 days starting Thursday, September 4, 2025 for a project that will improve fish passage along Lyon Creek by replacing a culvert that carries Lyon Creek under the highway
Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will close all travel lanes and sidewalks on SR 104 / Ballinger Way at 12:01am Thursday, September 4.
Signed detours will guide pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles around the work zone, which will be active 24 hours a day.
During the closure, crews will replace the existing 6-foot-wide culvert that carries Lyon Creek beneath SR 104 with a 24-foot-wide structure and make habitat improvements within the waterway. Crews also will finish sewer upgrades that began earlier this summer on adjacent local streets.

Once the closure begins, construction will take place seven days a week, up to 24 hours a day. Crews will do their best to structure noisy work during the daytime, but that will not always be possible. Nighttime noise likely won’t be noticeably louder than what has occurred over the last two months.
Once complete, this fish barrier removal project will open nearly 7.5 miles of potential upstream habitat to native and migrating fish.

Something must have changed. Drove right through this evening (9/2) without any road closure.
