Quarterly Project Report Update for Quarter Ending June 2005

Project Title & Location
SR 9 – SR 522 to 212th St. SE; Widening
(Stages 1b & 2), North Woodinville

Project Description
This project adds lanes and enhances safety on 1.8 miles of congested state highway.

Contractor/Consultant
Project not yet advertised or awarded.

Recent Progress

The project was advertised for bids in May 2005. Construction activities should start in August 2005.

Crews from Snohomish Public Utility District (SnoPUD) and other Utility companies have started removing trees and relocating their facilities along SR 9 to make room for the highway widening.

Design Construction Impacts

Coordination with adjoining utility companies is ongoing, as well as our continuing efforts with Snohomish County and the Brightwater Treatment Plant design teams. Utility Companies have already started the relocation of their facilities to make room for the widening of the highway.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance

No significant impacts.  This project will meet all applicable permit requirements and avoid any stream or wetland impacts where possible or mitigate for the impact through the creation or enhancement of new wetlands.

This project will construct storm water facilities to treat for quality and quantity.  Construction will incorporate use of temporary erosion control measures to minimize impacts.

Impacts to Traffic
Construction will start in August 2005.  Traffic will experience narrower lanes and shoulders, slower speeds and occasional stopped traffic in construction work zones during the daytime.  Also, some night and weekend lane and roadway closures may occur during the construction period.  Anticipate a comprehensive public information effort to share timing of construction activities and traffic impacts.  All 4 lanes should be open to traffic by Summer 2007.
