The current project will widen Duvall Avenue NE to five lanes (including a two-way left-turn lane in the middle) from the Sunset (SR 900)/Duvall Ave NE intersection to the north city limits at NE 23rd Street.
It will also add curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bicycle lanes on both sides of Duvall Ave NE, convert overhead power lines to underground power lines and include safety features at specific locations including a signal at NE 21st Street.
North of the Renton city limits, there are currently two general-purpose lanes with little or no pedestrian facilities, and left-turn lanes at various locations. In this segment, this project will widen the roadway to five lanes (tapering northwards down to four), and includes: new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drainage improvements, street lighting, lane markings, and a bikeway from Renton's north city limits to SE 95th Way (Newcastle's south city limits). The project will also move overhead power lines underground.
The completed project will look similar to the artist rendering below. (click the image to enlarge)
The improvements within Renton and in King County will complement the City of Newcastle's Coal Creek Parkway Widening project to the north.
