Weekly Update April 5th -9th

The utilities contractors are continuing with their work, and the bid opening is set for next week.


Thurston County Public Works wants to take this opportunity to offer a few hints that we hope will help you to be less inconvenienced during the project.


Access to all businesses and residences along the project route will be open during the project and the entire road will remain open, with the exception of brief closures for work that requires it. We will do our best to keep the public apprised of these closures using our blog and Twitter. Be aware that  due to the nature of construction we cannot and do not guarantee that all closures will be announced ahead of time.





There will be traffic control personnel (flaggers) available to help guide you safely through the work zone.  A flagger's primary duty is to help assure the safety of the work crews AND the motoring, walking, and biking public. They must be alert to hazards at all times.  Please help them out by following their instructions and not engaging them in conversation that may distract them from their duties.


There will be significant slow downs during peak traffic times. We suggest that you take a few minutes to check out possible detour routes, or plan different ways to get around the area. Because of the large number of construction projects in the area this summer, we will not be publishing specific detour routes. You can use these links to help you:
