SE Edgewick Road Slide Repair Project
Road opened to traffic on April 6, 2026
March 29, 2026: Crews repaired the slide and rebuilt the slope with large rocks to reenforce the road.
Status update
April 6, 2026
Crews opened SE Edgewick Road to traffic on Monday, April 6, 2026.
In the coming days, crews will return to remove the temporary bridge along the alternative route and make any needed repairs to the driveway. We’ll let the community know when this work is scheduled.
During the week of April 6, crews are also working on an additional drainage project near the slide location in the 456th block. Please expect flaggers who will direct two-way traffic through a single open lane.

Project overview
Crews identified that water could damage SE Edgewick Road, and in 2009 perforated pipes were installed to drain water away from the downslope. We believe that over time, one of those pipes shifted and allowed water to seep under the road. The amount of water during the December 2025 storm was unprecedented and the drainage system could not keep up.
To repair the road, crews cut into the hillside and added rock to reinforce the road and fix the slide. The team also installed drainage improvements to reduce the risk of future slides.

February 17, 2026: Construction to repair the slide on SE Edgewick Road has begun.
February 7, 2026: Crews added a temporary bridge over the existing private bridge along the alternative route. The temporary bridge does not have any weight limit restrictions and allows for emergency responders to access the Edgewick neighborhood during construction.
January 7, 2026: Two-way traffic can now use a single lane of SE Edgewick Road. The road is very narrow (9.5 ft wide) with a 10-ton weight limit restriction. Please use extreme caution when using the road, especially in the dark.
December 30, 2025: The private bridge at 44660 SE Edgewick Road now has a new, lower posted weight limit restriction of 5 tons.
December 18, 2025: The Snoqualmie Valley Trail is closed to pedestrians and bicyclists so that it can be used as an alternative route for the SE Edgewick Road community. The Parks Division placed signs to show that delivery vehicles are not allowed to use the trail. We need to limit use of this alternative route so that the trail is preserved as much as possible.
December 13, 2025: more water from the atmospheric river caused the hillside above SE Edgewick to slide. This slide is slightly uphill from the road damage.
On December 11, 2025, crews added compacted gravel to the road shoulder to create a narrow one lane on SE Edgewick Road with a 5-ton limit on vehicle weight. Shortly after, additional water forced this option to be closed.
On December 9, 2025, the ground underneath SE Edgewick Road slid during a rainstorm.
