The City of Sammamish is set to begin an extensive inspection and cleaning of stormwater pipes on September 23, a project that is expected to last until the end of the year. This initiative aims to maintain the city's infrastructure along critical roads, including Issaquah Fall-City Road and Issaquah Pine Lake Road. While the work may cause some traffic disruptions, officials assure that these will be minimal, primarily involving single-lane closures. Proper signage and traffic control measures will be in place to facilitate safe passage for motorists. In another related project, paving on the eastbound lane of Southeast 24th Street is scheduled from September 15 to September 19.

During this time, only one lane will be closed, and flaggers will be present to guide alternating traffic. Residents are advised to plan their travels accordingly to minimize inconvenience. These projects reflect the city's commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring public safety.
