Construction of new sidewalk and bike lanes on Southeast Newport Way starts Tuesday, between 150th and 152nd avenues, and is expected to last through August.

A sidewalk will be built on the south side of that two-block stretch of Newport Way, with bike lanes being added on both sides of the roadway. The crosswalk at Eastgate Elementary will be upgraded. The project includes storm drainage improvements, repaving work on Newport Way, water main replacement, irrigation and landscaped planters.

Design work for improvements to the stretch of Newport Way between 150th Avenue and Somerset Boulevard will begin later this year.

Standard work hours will be 7 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The work will require lane closures, but two-way traffic will be maintained at all times.
