$6 million project supports local construction jobs
Construction began April 27 to realign and significantly improve this intersection. Work started with closure of NE 172nd Avenue between NE Ward Road and NE 99th Street to allow for utility relocation.
The $6 million construction phase will support about 60 private-sector jobs. When road work starts in June, the contractor will construct a new intersection east of China Ditch including left turns lanes, improved road shoulders and drainage, and a new traffic signal.

Utility realignment work is nearly complete on NE 172nd. This road segment between NE Ward Road and NE 99th Street will remain closed until a new intersection opens on the northeast side of China Ditch
The county put temporary speed bumps on a nearby residential street to discourage cut-through traffic while NE 172nd and NE Ward Road are closed. |
