KBA is providing construction management and inspection services for this $24 million locally funded project to transform the 100th Avenue NE corridor into a safer, more efficient street for all traveling modes, including walking, driving, transit, and bicycle riding. In this first phase, the City is building separated sidewalks and elevated bicycle lanes along both sides of the corridor between NE 139th and 145th Streets.

The East Marginal Way South Infrastructure Improvement Project, led by SDOT, aims to enhance safety and mobility along this major freight corridor. The project is divided into three phases: North, Central, and South Segments. The North Segment, currently underway, includes constructing a heavy haul street, a two-way protected bike lane, upgraded traffic signals, a rebuilt sidewalk, an earthquake-resistant water main, and a weigh-in-motion system for freight. This project will create a multimodal corridor that improves access for trucks and cyclists while upgrading critical infrastructure. Once completed, East Marginal Way South will be transformed into a modern, resilient transportation route benefiting both the local community and the regional economy.

KBA provided construction management services in the BelRed area for the $13 million, quarter-mile first phase of widening 124th Avenue NE from NE Spring Boulevard to NE Ichigo Way. With a nine-month road closure to thru traffic, significant coordination with utilities, businesses, adjacent projects, and the public were required to keep business access open while progressing on contract work. The concurrent Sound Transit East Link work at the bridge site resulted in changing site conditions. KBA managed the multiple changes by cultivating great relationships with the contractor, design engineer, and the City of Bellevue.

KBA provided construction management and inspection for both phases of the $25.4 million Covington Connector project. Phase I upgraded 204th Avenue SE from a two-lane residential street to a full-width arterial with medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, and a safer intersection at SR 516, including a lowered grade and traffic signal. Improvements included new water mains, underground utilities, storm drainage, street lighting, and nearly 300 trees. Phase II added two roundabouts, retaining walls, utility work, and paving to connect SR 18 and SR 516, paving the way for Covington’s future town center with apartments, restaurants, and a manmade lake. KBA managed 37 change orders and complex utility coordination, leveraging strong relationships with WSDOT, PSE, Comcast, and others to ensure project quality and efficiency, leading to the City’s satisfaction with the results.
