Mother Nature threw us a curve ball over the weekend, just to prove that she was still in charge. However, the tenacious Yelm Highway crew from Miles Construction & Thurston County Public Works refuse to be beaten. They will pave today (Monday) and tomorrow to finish what was planned for Saturday and Monday. Paving will be on Yelm Highway from Brassfield to Boulevard, and also on Brassfield.
Sadly, this will mean long delays for the driving public if you have to use Yelm Highway for your commute. We have supplied a map with alternate routes (Link to the right), but if you cannot avoid the area, remember that the contractor will be on the road from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM both days, and delays to traffic could be well beyond 30 minutes. Some driveways will be blocked for short periods while the asphalt cures (See our earlier posts on the paving). Additionally, there is sewer work going on east of Boulevard.
We understand that this is an inconvenience and truly appreciate your cooperation. If you have questions about the project, feel free to contact us via our email contacts, Theresa Parsons, Coordinator or Webmaster .
