End In Sight For 6th Street Overhaul In Kirkland

KIRKLAND, WA — The final phase of an overhaul of 6th Street South in Kirkland will begin soon, wrapping up a project that dates back to 2015.

Beginning in early August, crews will repave a mile-long stretch between Northeast 68th Street and near Central Way. Drivers and pedestrians will encounter the work between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. during daylight hours, and between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. at night. There will be flaggers on site to reroute traffic when necessary.

The first part of the work will include replacing manhole covers and rebuilding curbs. Crews will also install a four-way signal light at 9th Avenue.

Questions? The city has a full map showing all the past and future work along 6th. The project manager will also be available to answer questions every Tuesday at 9 a.m. at a booth along the Cross Kirkland Corridor. City staff will also attend the Everest Neighborhood Picnic on Aug. 18.

The final phase of the project should be complete by the end of September.
