from Avondale Road to 178 Place NE

Project Cost $3.9 million

Funding Source: City of Redmond Capital Investment Program, business tax revenue, developer contributions, King County Metro, Transportation Improvement Board

Project Manager: Phil Day (pday@redmond.gov)

Project Description: The area surrounding Union Hill Road and the Avondale Road intersection has developed rapidly and continues to grown.  The transformation of land use from agricultural and light industrial to retail and business park use has generated additional traffic.  Union Hill Road also serves as a key route to the Novelty Hill Urban Planned Developments to the east.

Phase I of the construction on Union Hill Road included improvements between 178 Place NE to 188 Avenue NE, which was complete in the summer of 2005.  Phase II construction will increase capacity, level of service, and safety for all transportation modes on Union Hill Road between Avondale Road and 178 Place NE, and for the intersection of Union Hill Road and Avondale.
