Project work update

Nighttime construction has ceased for the time being as the final paving and overlay for roads have been completed. It will resume in November for final striping.

Median work is in progress and will continue into the next few weeks.

As outlined in the initial project plan for Phase 4, new traffic curbs and medians will be installed, and some access points may be modified accordingly. Similar to those already in place at Rainier Ave S. and Airport Way, these are designed to improve safety by limiting left turns, while still allowing U-turns at signalized intersections.
