To address the temporary closure of Lake Alice Road for repairs this summer, King County Roads will re-open an access road from Lake Alice Road Southeast to Southeast Sorenson Street on Snoqualmie Ridge. The access road will open at 7 a.m. Monday, June 22, and will remain open through Aug. 28, or until the project is completed.
Snoqualmie’s Public Works Department will monitor the project within the Snoqualmie Ridge neighborhoods in collaboration with King County, which will manage the project in the Lake Alice neighborhood.
The detour route, used during an earlier phase of the project in 2013, starts at Lake Alice Road, goes through the access road, onto Southeast Sorenson, then left onto Southeast Carmichael Street, and right onto Douglas Avenue Southeast to reach Snoqualmie Parkway.
The detour route map is posted on the King County website at http://bit.ly/LakeAliceProjectDetour.
Lake Alice Road is the sole access to approximately 200 homes in the Lake Alice neighborhood. The temporary closure of the road is necessary to replace a 48-inch-diameter culvert, located 35 feet below the road surface. The culvert has rusted through and could collapse, which would make the road completely impassable.
