STANWOOD – Drivers will soon see major construction to reduce congestion and improve safety on State Route 532 near Stanwood in Snohomish County.
In late May, work will start on a WSDOT project to install turn lanes and upgrade signals at I-5 and Old Highway 99; and expanding the Stanwood park and ride lot. WSDOT awarded the $8 million construction contract last week to the most competitive bidder, Trimaxx Construction, Inc. of Sedro Woolley.
The current total project budget is $8 million, including funds for design, project oversight and other costs. The project is funded by the Nickel Transportation Funding Package enacted by the 2003 Washington State Legislature.
WSDOT expects to complete work in spring 2007. For more information about this project visit: www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/I5/SR532_IC/.

Drivers can now get real time traffic and weather information by dialing 5-1-1 from most phones. This new traveler information system builds upon the highly successful Washington State Highway hotline that managed 4.6 million calls each year. Callers can also use 5-1-1 to get statewide construction, mountain pass condition, and state ferry system information, as well as toll free numbers for passenger rail and airlines. TTY users can call 1-800-833-6388.
