Ziply Fiber

The City has been working diligently with Ziply Fiber representatives since the Jan. 23, 2025 Right-of-Way (ROW) permits suspension to address and resolve the issues encountered during the installation of underground high-speed fiber internet lines. The City is working closely with Ziply to meet City standards and expectations in order to reissue the permits. The work associated with the permit is mostly located along 228th Avenue Northeast from Northeast 8th Street to Northeast 28th Place. Additional details and the map can be found on the Sammamish Cone Zone webpage. 

All other ROW permits issued to Ziply remain suspended as the City and Ziply continue to work to resolve issues. The only work allowed while all other permits are suspended is the securing of active sites for safety, restoration, and erosion control.

As the City considers lifting the suspension on subsequent permits, the community can expect the following:

  • Increased inspection coverage of active crew(s) and sites to provide better oversight of the construction and real-time response to community concerns and questions.
  • Enhanced communication with City staff.
  • Updated notification procedures, including updated language on door hangers to better reflect the work being completed and provide resources to the community.
  • Staffing Ziply’s 1-855-950-0779 hotline during business hours.

If you have concerns about Ziply Fiber’s work, please submit a request through the MySammamish website or app under the category “Ziply Impacts & Concerns.” City staff will reply within the request.

City of Redmond Work

Road closure on 187th Avenue Northeast near Sammamish city limit

This is a City of Redmond development project.

A City of Redmond development project requires the temporary closure of 187th Avenue Northeast adjacent to Sammamish neighborhoods to accommodate work for The Cove short plat located in Redmond. Their contractor will close 187th Avenue Northeast between East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast and Northeast 53rd Street. A detour will be in place along East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast and Redmond-Fall City Road NE (SR 202) to manage traffic during this period. This closure may impact Sammamish local traffic, including NE 54th Place Northeast and NE 55th Street. The closure is tentatively scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025, and is expected to last for approximately eight working days. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday. For more information about this project, please visit the City of Redmond’s project webpage.

 

 

WSDOT Traffic Alerts

Traffic Alert: I-90 Lane Closures

Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) crews are continuing repairs on the Interstate 90 project, which will have congestion impacts, especially during peak travel time. These are a continuation of repairs WSDOT began in summer 2022. While this work is occurring, please plan ahead and allow extra time.

State Route 18 Closures

People who use State Route 18 should expect slight traffic shifts during the daytime commute and intermittent nightly lane reductions. This may be as early as 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, with all lanes reopening by 5 a.m. Flaggers will direct motorists when traffic is reduced to one lane. People should continue to plan extra time for their trips, as contractor crews work to widen the highway and redesign the interchange.
