Road Construction Updates

More updates from the Town  on a couple of road construction projects. First, Tucker Avenue, and then the water main replacement out on San Juan Valley and Wold Roads…

Tucker Avenue Reconstruction Project – Phase 1
What to expect for the week of July 11th through July 15th

The Town of Friday Harbor appreciates everyone’s patience while we work through this project. A project manager is on-site at all times to address concerns. Do not hesitate to contact Town Hall at (360) 378-2810 with questions or comments.

Project task(s):
The Contractor has completed water service connections to all users from the new water main; tie-ins to the new water main onto Harbor Street and McDonald Street; grinding pavement; and undergrounding of street lighting, fiber and cable conduits.

The Contractor will be transitioning into the phase of the project for actively reconstructing the roadbed. Road construction entails removal of existing surface; and excavation to the subgrade and base rock.

This work will require the Contractor to have additional equipment on Tucker Avenue with trucks entering and leaving the road. Two flaggers will be present to control the traffic.

Street Closure:
The Southbound lane will be temporarily closed during road crossings. Flaggers will advise drivers of when it makes sense to use Harbor Street as an alternative. Southbound traffic may use the Larson Street detour to avoid the construction area entirely.

Motorists and pedestrians are asked to avoid going through the area if possible by using the detours route.

Construction Hours:
The Contractor has been authorized to work between the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Friday.
