Washington Complete Street Project
Road work continues on North Washington - weather permitting. The road will be closed to through
traffic for the duration of this phase of work. There will be a one-way access lane north-bound for residents who live and must park within the closure. The road will be closed from 2nd St. to 6th St. with a signed detour via Hwy 58 and Hwy 93. With recent weather, progress has slowed. We anticipate paving the south-bound lanes and switching traffic onto the new road in the next week, weather pending. We have received an updated schedule from the contractor, and despite the many days lost to weather, the contractor is still showing completion within the contract time by early June.
