Rocky Creek to Granite Creek BST
Rocky Creek to Granite Creek BST kicks-off summer 2022. This preservation project extends from milepost 102 at Rocky Creek Road in Rockport, approximately 9 miles east of Concrete to milepost 148 near Granite Creek, approximately 45 west of Winthrop. Contractor crews working on behalf of WSDOT will overlay the road with an aggregate surface treatment that preserves the life of the existing roadway.
In addition to the surface treatment, crews will make some pavement repairs and apply fog seal.
What should travelers expect
Beginning Wednesday, June 8, the parking lot at the Ross Dam Trail Head is closed for paving scheduled to begin June 13. All vehicles must vacate the parking lot by 5 a.m. on June 13 or risk being towed at the owner’s expense. The contractor requires full access to the parking lot to expedite the work and allow for it to be reopened as soon as possible. The parking lot is expected to be closed for approximately one week, weather permitting. If the weather is cool and rainy the closure time may be extended.
Work zone signs will notify travelers that they are entering an established work zone. A pilot car will direct traffic through some areas of this work zone and flaggers will direct traffic through other areas. Pilot car operation is limited to a 15-minute maximum hold time. Drivers should expect single lane closures, shoulder closures, delayed travel times and are asked to follow a reduced speed limit, all posted signage and directions of traffic control officers.
NWR HMA Crack Seal & Pavement Repair
NWR HMA Crack Seal & Pavement Repair kicks off in June 2022 and spans nine state highways across several counties in the northwest region, including SR 20 between milepost 67 near Fruitdale Road in Sedro-Woolley to milepost 90, east of Van Horn Road in Concrete.
Hot liquid asphalt mix will be used to seal active cracks so that water is kept out of the pavement. This is a cost-effective pavement preservation strategy designed to extend the life of the existing roadway.
What should travelers expect
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane throughout this work zone. Most of the work in this area will be done overnight and a pilot car will direct traffic through some areas of this work zone and flaggers will direct traffic through other areas. Travelers should expect delayed travel times and are asked to follow all posted signage and directions of traffic control officers.
