Project Overview
The City of Lake Forest Park will be constructing a roundabout on Ballinger Way NE at the intersection of SR-104, 40th Place NE, and NE 184th Street. Construction will begin in the first half of 2025. This new roundabout will include a single-lane roundabout, new sidewalks, shared-use pathways, four pedestrian crossings with refuge islands, and improved street lighting.
With a focus on safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability, this project will allow our community to grow mindfully while also improving air quality and providing the essential infrastructure needed to promote non-vehicular travel along the SR-104 corridor.
Timeline Spring 2026 - Winter 2027
Project Status Pre-Construction
Project Cost $8.6 Million
What to Expect
Construction is anticipated to begin in the first half of 2026 and be completed end of 2027. Throughout the construction period, work will alternately occur on the northbound and southbound sections of SR-104, resulting in reduced traffic lanes managed by a flagger.
Timing for all closures and partial closures is yet to be determined. Stay tuned for posted notices and updates on our website during the construction period.
