Overview
We will repair three miles of asphalt on SR 92 from 147th Avenue Northeast to Quarry Road. Contractor crews will grind down the worn asphalt, remove the debris and fill the area with new asphalt in a process called “mill and fill.” They will also seal cracks, replace signals and make some Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades at the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection with 84th Street NE. This project has been combined with a nearby roundabout installation on SR 9 at 108th Street Northeast.

Needs & benefits

Why is WSDOT repaving SR 92 from 147th Avenue Northeast to Quarry Road just west of Granite Falls?
The asphalt on this two-lane stretch of highway hasn’t been repaired since 2006. 16,300 vehicles travel this portion of roadway every day. It’s now showing signs of wear and tear such as cracks, ruts and potholes. At the intersection of 84th Street Northeast, curb ramps will be installed to provide a level transition between the sidewalk and the street. This will make crossing easier for cyclists, strollers and people who use walkers or wheelchairs. In addition, the pushbuttons for the crossing signal will be modified to be ADA compliant.

The work on SR 92 will involve single lane closures with a pilot car. Because most traffic is during the day, a majority of the construction work will be performed at night.

The End Result
This project will protect the layers of the roadway, extend its life and reduce future maintenance costs. It also makes the intersection of 84th Street Northeast safer for people to cross. ADA compliance will be achieved when this project is complete.

Project Benefits

• Economic: New pavement will protect and preserve the roadway, increasing its lifespan and reducing the need for costly emergency repairs.
• Safety: Intersection improvements will make crossing SR 92 at 84th Street safer.
