Let's start with the normal stuff that we have going on before we get to the big stuff for this week.
Throughout the county we have sweeping, shoulder mowing, culvert, and catchbasin cleaning. These tasks all involve work zones that require you to use caution when entering and travelling through. There may be short single lane closures. Our crews are working to maintain safe roadway conditions. Please help them by passing through their work zones slowly and safely. Follow the directions of any traffic control personnel or signs that may be present. Be aware that mowers and sweepers can sometimes throw debris.
The sweeping and culvert/basin cleaning will be primarily in the NPDES zones.
Now, for the "not so routine"...
On Bend St SW in Rochester, there is a paving and drainage project going on at the Boys & Girls Club. There will be trucks entering and leaving the project so use caution in the area.
At 7th SE and Steilacoom Rd the intersection is being reconfigured. This will involve the closure of 7th Ave for a period of time. Detour routes will be posted in the area and are viewable online at Detour Map . For more information about this project please contact Lucy Mills, Operations Manager, at 867-2384. This project will extend from June 10th-21st.
And last but not least, the pavement prep for the 2013 chip seal contract continues in the southwest with crack sealing. This will involve single lane closures and some delays.
Have a wonderful week and enjoy the sunshine.
