228th St SE Roadway Repair near 15th Ave SE

Repairs are complete

Crews finished the repair project on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Thanks for your patience. 

The project intended to deal with groundwater and rain that has been “puddling” and freezing in the center of 228^th St. SE just east of 15^th Ave SE. The project includes installing two catch basins and a French drain to collect the water into the storm drain system.  

The mayor has signed a local proclamation of emergency that allowed staff to hire a contractor quickly. Council formally ratified the proclamation on Feb. 5.

A long-term future project will rebuild 228^th and deal with the settling of the road. That project may include a more robust drainage system if needed.
