Design Construction Impacts
The Washington State Legislature recently enacted the “nickel package” which funds this project to decrease delays to cross-state freight and travelers. After reviewing the project scope and estimate, we found that the detour will be more complicated than expected. This increases the project cost total by $560,000; however, we do not anticipate a change in the schedule.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
All environmental documents are complete or proceeding on schedule. All work will occur within the existing right-of-way and bridge structure. Impacts are limited and are mitigated as part of the contract.
|
Impacts to Traffic
During construction the speed limit will be limited to 50mph. Westbound traffic will be detoured to the eastbound lanes during the day and westbound Exit 80 will be closed. All lanes will be opened to traffic from Friday at noon to midnight Sunday and at nighttime.
