Part of Northeast 119th Street to close for work at rail crossing

A short segment of Northeast 119th Street will close for construction at the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad crossing beginning Friday morning.

The street from east of Northeast 99th Avenue to west of Northeast 102nd Avenue will be closed starting 7 a.m. Friday and until no later than 11 p.m. Sunday.

Residents of the immediate area along Northeast 119th will still have access. Those who need access to Northeast 99th will need to drive from the west, and those who need to reach Northeast 102nd must come from the east.

Through traffic will have to use alternate routes. The county suggests Padden Parkway as one possible route.

The work is part of a two-year project to widen and enhance Northeast 119th Street, from east of Northeast 87th Avenue to Northeast 112th Avenue.
