Several road projects will continue in the area, weather permitting.

A section of Ninth Street, south of Highland Avenue, in Redmond will be closed for several nights next week to allow for water line work. Traffic will be detoured to 11th Street.

Crews are working to install the city of Redmond’s waterline project along the north side of Highland Avenue. Sections of Sixth to 12th streets between Glacier and Highland avenues will be closed intermittently to through traffic to allow for the installation of a water line.

Local access will be maintained for businesses and residences from either Glacier Avenue or Highland Avenue, depending on the location of the work.

Glacier Avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, will be restricted to one lane through the middle of the week to allow for work on the storm sewer pumps.
