Downtown Bellevue Construction Projects

PSE is starting a major natural gas pipeline project in Downtown Bellevue on Monday, August 4th.  There will be some roads closures and, we can definitely expect some traffic delays.  The project will start at the intersection of 110th Ave NE and NE 10th.  Starting at 5:00am on Wednesday, August 6th, 110th Ave NE southbound will be closed from NE 10th to NE 8th St., this stretch is schedule to reopen around August 16th.  Residences and businesses will be accessible via NE 8th.  Most of the work will be done from 7am to 7pm weekdays.

Later in August, a second crew will start at the intersection of NE 2nd and 112th Ave NE and will continue to the Lake Hills Connector and 140th Ave SE.

The work is part of PSE’s Bellevue-Lake Hills Connector natural gas pipeline project.  PSE is adding the 3.5 miles of new pipeline to accommodate projected growth in Bellevue’s fast-growing Downtown and to provide a backup line for the existing line.  Using heavy machinery, workers will dig roughly 6’ wide trench in the street, then lay 12”, welded steel pipe and a second 8” pipe before filling the ditch and repaving the road.

All downtown work is scheduled to be done by November 15th, just in time for the holiday shopping season!
