Issaquah-Fall City Road reopens after year-long closure

A road project in Sammamish we first highlighted four years ago has been completed. Issaquah-Fall City Road is once again open.
When I first did this story in 2017, plans were just getting started to eliminate a huge chokepoint on the eastside. So many people have moved to the Sammamish and Issaquah area over the last decade that the small two lane roads just couldn’t handle the growth. Issaquah-Fall City Road has been a popular way to get down to I-90.
I first interviewed then-mayor Christie Malchow in March 2017. She told me 22,000 cars a day were jamming the road, making it nearly impassable during the morning and afternoon commute, and that something needed to be done. Construction began in 2018.
