The City of Bellevue Transportation Department will be upgrading or building 13 new curb ramps at four locations around the city. The new and upgraded ramps will comply with the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
What to expect
- Construction schedule: Construction is expected to begin in January 2025 and work will occur intermittently over approximately ten days at each site.
- Work hours: 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday to Friday
- Traffic impacts: Lane closures with one-way alternating traffic will be needed to complete this work. Please expect delays and use alternate routes if possible. Flaggers will be on-site to stop and direct people driving, walking and rolling safely around the work zone. Please follow flaggers’ instructions.
- Temporary sidewalk detours will be in effect while ramps are under construction.
Work is weather permitting. Please note that construction schedules are subject to change. Thank you for your patience during construction and for doing your part to be safe near the work zone.
