Project Description
This project will widen SR 9 to provide 12 ft lanes and 4 ft shoulders while realigning curves, flattening slopes and improving safety features. This project will provide water quality treatment and detention, and wetland mitigation and left turn lanes at Armstrong Rd, 252nd St, and 268th St. This project will reduce the number and severity of accidents on SR 9 between the Stillaguamish River and Bryant.

Recent Progress
The Roundtable Review Meeting was held on 11/2/06. The channelization plans and the last deviations were approved in early October. Addressed all comments from the 100% PS&E review and submitted Proof Copy on 11/13/06.Submitted the Final Stormwater Report on 11/22/06 and expect approval in mid of December.
Right of Way Cert. 3 was issued on 11-29-06.
We are within the current budget and on schedule for December Ad
Risks
We haven’t received all of the environmental Permits. We anticipate getting the environmental permits in end of January 2007. The detour and construction permits have been approved by Snohomish County we anticipate getting them by December 15th. All information pertaining to the pit site permits were submitted to Snohomish County on 11-30-06, we expect response by mid January. The utilities relocation to occur during construction. We have coordinated our construction schedule with Sno.Co PUD and we will include their schedule in our contract. The issues pertaining to the unsuitable excavation in the Geotechnical report recommendation at 30% of the excavation has been resolved. Minor risk for potential quantity increase during construction. Minor risk was identified for the construction of the 8 foot culvert. The risk of the differential settlement has been resolved by working with the construction office and the Geotechnical group.

Design Construction Impacts
Construction activities will necessitate shoulder and lane closures for transition sections between the new alignment and existing alignment in the Schloman Road vicinity. Lane and shoulder closures will also be required for the intersection improvements at 252 and 268th. Weekend closures and detours will be necessary to connect the new alignment to the old at Schloman Road Vic. A Risk Matrix has been prepared for the project. The matrix indicates risk associated with R/W certifications prior to Ad, construction cost increases due to changing market conditions, utility relocations, and environmental permits.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
Project will impact 1.5 acres of wetlands and will place fill in the floodplain. Wetlands adjoining the project will be restored to mitigate impacts and floodplain impacts will be mitigated for in accordance with the zero rise requirements. One residence will be relocated make way for new roadway.
|
Impacts to Traffic
Construction will require lane closures for widening activities. Two weekend closures and one 5 day closure will be necessary to connect the new alignment to the old. The construction office will need to coordinate with State, Local, and private stakeholders.

JARPA application denied without prejudice by DOE. We are coordinating with the DOE and incorporating our responses into a new application package.
Sno Co. comments to the Shoreline Permit application and Flood Hazard Permit application received. Requested a flood equalization study to verify that water is not being impounded between the old and new roadway alignments in the Schloman Road segment. Parametrix is in process of completing the study. Region Environmental staff are responding to remaining comments, including proximity of wells and drainfields to the roadway widening improvements.
The Water Quality Certs (released under the JARPA application, above) cannot be released until after the Shoreline Permit is approved.

Environmental Permits are now on the critical path. WSDOT will probably not have permits 10-12 weeks in advance of Ad. Still optimistic that permits will be obtained prior to current Ad date. Ad date is currently 12/26/06.
