Our Western Gateway project, located on West Railroad Avenue from Pacific Court through 8th Street, is set to begin work on Tuesday, August 9.
This is a major project for us and we’ll be sharing project updates here, on the City’s Twitter account (@cityofsheltonwa), and on our project webpage –
sheltonwa.gov/westerngateway. We’ve also added a direct link to the project webpage on the menu for the City’s app.
The contractor is set to begin with underground utility installations, which include installing a new water main, water service improvements, and storm drain improvements. Road
improvements will begin after utility trenching is complete.
Traffic impacts will be a primary focus of our Western Gateway communications. For now, expect delays if traveling through the project area as traffic will be reduced to one lane.
Working hours will typically be 8-hour windows between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Driving lanes will be narrow and heavy equipment/trucks will be entering and leaving work zones.
Please be alert and obey flagging personnel for your safety and others! Plan accordingly and use alternate routes when possible. You can expect further updates as this project
begins next week.
