April 2013
- An open house and limited access hearing for this project is scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at Marysville Getchell High School.
- Open house: 5 - 6 p.m.
- Limited Access Hearing: 6 - 8:30 p.m.
- 8301 84th Street N.E., Marysville, WA
- We are designing improvements for the SR 9/32nd St. and SR 9/84th St. (Getchell Road) intersections to reduce the risk of collisions and improve traffic flow.
- This project will be advertised for competitive bid in fall 2013. We expect to begin construction in summer 2014.
- These projects are combined into one design-build project to better utilize WSDOT resources and save money.
- Sign up for email updates about projects and issues in Snohomish County.
Why is WSDOT
considering a signal to improve the SR 9/32nd Street S.E. intersection near Lake Stevens and a roundabout at the SR 9/84th St. N.E. intersection near Marysville?
We will build a new traffic signal at the SR 9/32nd Ave. SE intersection to help improve traffic flow and help reduce the risk of serious collisions. About 19,000 vehicles use this stretch of SR 9 each day. The SR 9/32nd Street S.E. intersection was the site of 18 collisions from 2006 to 2010, including one serious injury collision. There were three rear-end collisions and four collisions involving drivers entering SR 9 from 32nd Street S.E.
We are considering building a roundabout at the SR 9/84th Ave. NE (Getchell Road) intersection near Marysville to help reduce the risk of collisions and improve traffic flow. This intersection was the site of 36 collisions between 2006 and 2010. Of those, five caused injuries, 21 were rear-end collisions and six involved drivers turning across traffic.
The End Result
Drivers will benefit from a smoother flow of traffic and a reduced risk of serious collisions at SR 9/32nd St. SE and SR 9/84th St. NE.
Roundabouts are designed to reduce the risk of all collisions, especially those involving drivers turning across traffic. Roundabouts make intersections safer and more efficient for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Learn more about roundabouts and their benefits, or watch a video on how to drive a roundabout.
Project Benefits
The signal and roundabout will help reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions. Constructing a roundabout at 84th Street NE and a new traffic signal at 32nd Street NE will improve safety along the SR 9 corridor.
What is the project timeline?
This project will be built using the design-build process. We are currently revising our schedule. We expect to award the contract to a qualified design-build team in 2013 and begin construction in 2014.
