King County will be repaving the heavily traveled Issaquah-Hobart Road beginning Thursday, July 31, and traffic will be delayed during the two-week project.

The section to be repaved is from Southeast May Valley Road to State Route 18. The work will be done on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The work is weather dependent, and the King County Road Services Division hopes to have paving completed by Friday, Aug. 15. Placement of shoulder rock and roadway striping will occur after the paving is completed. Delays for the post-paving work will be minimal and localized.

One lane of traffic will remain open at all times, and vehicles will be led through the work zone by a pilot car. Delays are expected to be lengthy. Motorists may want to use alternate routes or travel before 8 a.m. and after 4:30 p.m.
