Traffic congestion relief is on its way to the intersection of NE 124th Street and 124th Avenue NE in the Totem Lake neighborhood. Three additional vehicular lanes, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks will be constructed in the coming months.

Johanasen Excavating will begin work on the intersection in early April, a project expected to take five months. Surface water quality and drainage improvements will also be installed. Construction will occur during weekdays, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Emergency or night time work may be required. Adjacent property owners will receive notice from the City’s contractor about construction activities.
