WSDOT - SR 202 - Preston Fall City Road and Jct SR 203 - December 2005 Quarterly Project Report

SR 202 - Preston Fall City Road and Jct SR 203 - Complete July 2008
*Quarterly Project Report Update for Quarter Ending December 2005*

Project Title & Location SR 202 - Jct. Preston-Fall City Road & Jct. SR 203 - at Fall City	Project Description This project will construct sidewalks and intersection control improvements at the intersection of SR 202 and Preston-Fall City Road and at the intersection of SR 202 and SR 203.
Contractor/Consultant A Contractor will be selected in Winter 2006.
Recent Progress A single lane roundabout has been designed for the intersection of SR 202 and SR 203. The draft channelization plans have been reviewed and comments are being addressed. The project drainage requirements for water quality and floodplain impacts have been defined for the project. Detention is not required for the project. A draft Hazardous Waste Report has been completed for the property acquisition area.
Design Construction Impacts The roundabout design will require right of way from three existing businesses on one parcel which may result in a total acquisition of the property.
Environmental Impacts / Compliance The roundabout has been designed so that the cuts and fills within the flood plain balance out. The Design Office is working with the WSDOT HQ Hydraulics and King County staff to complete the Floodplain impact documentation requirements. The draft Hazardous Waste report has confirmed that an old gas station tank was previously removed from the property. Additional investigation has been recommended to confirm if any soil contamination still remains. A Section 106 report for possible archaeological artifacts is being completed. A previous report on an adjacent project indicated the possibility of artifacts in the area however no artifacts were found during construction.	Impacts to Traffic Intermittent lane closures are expected during the construction of this project (2007 and 2008).
