Vicinity map of the SR 202 - SR 520 to Sahalee Way Widening project
This project
 began at SR 520 in Redmond and ended at Sahalee Way in rural King County.

The new wetland at the corner of SR 202 and Sahalee Way will help prevent future flooding.

Project Photos
Crews opened new lanes on SR 202 between East Lake Sammamish Parkway and Sahalee Way. See more construction photos.

Overview
We widened three miles of State Route 202 from SR 520 in Redmond to Sahalee Way in rural King County. Crews built this project in two stages. We completed this project more than a year ahead of schedule. Next, we plan to widen SR 520 at SR 202.

How You Benefit
Cross GlyphImproves Safety
Improved sight distance and the addition of new lanes, turn lanes, signals, signage and a median will ultimately reduce the number of collisions in the corridor and facilitate movement to and from SR 202. The installation of 5-foot sidewalks, 6-foot bicycle lanes, and lighting upgrades will increase safety for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
Car GlyphRelieves Congestion
Added an additional lane in both directions, improved flow at intersections with the installation of new or revised signals and left-turn lanes.
Leaf Glyph Protects Environment
Environment - Improved  drainage facilities and retaining walls to prevent landslides. Enhanced with the creation of a new wetland in Happy Valley.
