Look Up: Helicopter Lift Will Close Bellevue Streets

BELLEVUE, WA - If you're downtown Sunday morning, take a look up in the sky. Between 7 and 9 a.m., a helicopter will be lifting equipment onto the roof of a downtown building. Streets in the area of the helicopter lift will be closed for safety.

Here's what the city of Bellevue says about street closures:

• Bellevue Way Northeast will be closed from Northeast Second to Northeast Eighth Street; Northeast Fourth Street will be closed between 100th and 106th avenues. Most sidewalks along the two streets also will be closed.
• Most of Downtown Park will be closed to pedestrians north of the waterfall. The area will be available as an emergency landing zone.
• A subcontractor will provide personnel for crowd control on sidewalks and at building entrances; Bellevue Police will provide traffic control.
• The city’s Transportation Department issued a right of way permit for the work to Ness Cranes Inc. The FAA approved a “congested area lift plan” for the helicopter work.
