The warm and dry summer months are when we see the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) at its busiest. The weather allows the agency to perform a number of tasks that can only be accomplished in the summer.
This week, the push continues across the region.
Next phase begins on SR 9 near Snohomish River Bridge
New construction phase begins on the SR 9 Marsh Road to Second Street Widening and Bridge Painting project.
This next phase of the widening project will reduce Lowell-Snohomish River Road to a single lane with flaggers alternating traffic from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. This alternating traffic configuration will be in place for the next several weeks and will lead to a full 30-day closure of Lowell-Snohomish River Road.
30-day full closure of Lowell-Snohomish River Road
Beginning in mid- to late August, Lowell-Snohomish River Road will close around the clock for a planned 30-day full closure. During this closure, crews will install new girders and begin in-water work to build two new bridge piers in the Snohomish River.
Detour route
Eastbound Lowell-Snohomish River Road traffic will be detoured to S. Second Avenue/Lowell-Larimer Road to Marsh Road and continuing to Airport Way/Avenue D. Westbound traffic will follow the same detour in the reverse direction.
