Site work and paving for a civil project in Edgewood, Washington. Design plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel; road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

Failing infrastructure was identified through Citizen Action Requests and inspection in late 2018 / early 2019. During staff's investigation of the issues, the need for significant improvements became apparent from the affected neighborhood on 56th St E, down Edgewood Drive and Sumner Heights Drive, downstream into the City of Sumner. Due to the scope of improvements needed, this project has been elevated from the Spot Improvement Program to the Capital Improvement Program. This project will install necessary surface water conveyance improvements along the entire length of road described above, converting an existing ditch line along Edgewood Drive into a culvert, improving traffic safety with widened travel lanes and new curbing, and increasing the conveyance capacity of the culvert and ditch system along Sumner Heights Drive to its destination at West Valley Highway in the City of Sumner. The conveyance along West Valley Highway will also be improved, including replacement of an existing culvert at the end of its service life with an outfall into WSDOT right-of-way. As of September 30, 2025, this project is included in the City of Edgewood FY 2025-2030 Budget CIP. It is currently in the design phase with design being done in house. A timeline for construction has not yet been established. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
