Henderson Closure
Starting Monday:
City of Olympia has scheduled a closure of Henderson Blvd. between Yelm Highway and Briggs Drive from
Monday Sept. 19th until sometime after the first of next year. A detour route
will be provided down Briggs Drive.
In other news...
Crews are scurrying to get the miscellaneous details out of the way before paving
begins. These are the usual sound wall, curb, sidewalk and landscaping. Most
of this will be put on hold during the upcoming paving, so at least that will be
some traffic relief!
Paving Schedule:
Saturday, September 17th
Crews will be working this coming Saturday to finish paving the first layer
of asphalt in areas that have not been finished. This is mainly along the
center medians and in roundabouts where the curb was installed after paving.
Paving up against the curb results in a greater finished product compared to
pouring concrete against existing asphalt.
Monday, September 19th
The day we are sure that many have been waiting for! Once the first layer (usually
called a "lift") of asphalt is down between Henderson and Boulevard the second
and final layer will be put down. By the end of Monday crews expect to have the
North half of Yelm Hwy paved between Henderson and Boulevard
Traffic will be shifted to the South side of Yelm Highway during this
work.
Don't forget the Henderson Closure as well!
Tuesday, September 20th
By the end of Tuesday crews expect to have the south half of Yelm Hwy paved
between Henderson and Brassfield, and the first layer on the west half of
Brassfield. Traffic will be shifted to the north half of Yelm Highway between
Henderson and Brassfield, and possibly further.
Wednesday, September 21st
Crews expect this to be the last day of paving for this phase. By the end
of the day the final layer of asphalt should be placed between Brassfield and
Boulevard, and traffic can expect to be moved to the north side of Yelm Highway
through the same area.
