Boulevard to Rich Rd.
In addition to the sewer work down the center of Yelm Hwy, drivers can expect a large portion of the roadway between Boulevard and Rich Road to be closed to traffic during the construction of the sewer line. So far, this has been the southern half of the road in order to speed up the flow of construction vehicles and ultimately lessen the duration of the project. Currently the sewer is being installed between Stratford Lane and Siskiyou St.
Henderson to Brassfield Drive
The contractor will be preparing for and begin pouring curbs between Henderson and Brassfield Drive, and also constructing a sound wall on both sides of the highway. Drivers can expect intermitted lane reductions depending on the needs of the contractor.
Boulevard-Yelm Highway Intersection-June 2011
At the beginning of June the contractor will begin the process of turning the Yelm Hwy-Boulevard intersection into a roundabout. Over the period of one day the contractor will remove the asphalt, haul in gravel to bring the surface up to the final elevation, and establishing driving lanes in the shape of a roundabout using cones and signs. Concrete curbs and asphalt will then be constructed in sections over time.
