Comment period deadline for Lake Crescent Road Project is June 7

If you have an opinion on the upcoming construction on Highway 101 around Lake Crescent you have until June 7, to do so

If you have an opinion on the upcoming construction on Highway 101 around Lake Crescent you have until June 7, to do so, see the link below.

 

The plan for the project is to begin in 2017, a tentative date, to fix the potholes, rock fall hazards, failing retaining walls and rotten guardrails on 12.3 miles of the primary thoroughfare between the West End and the rest of the North Olympic Peninsula.

 

Here are the draft choice:

 

Alternative 1 is to do nothing…

 

■ Alternative 2 — Thirty-minute delays throughout the term of the project, which would be expected to be from March to November for three years.

 

■ Alternative 3 — Close the Lake Crescent stretch of road in the shoulder seasons, i.e., in the spring — March and April — and fall — October and November.

 

The stretch of road would be open to traffic with 30-minute delays the rest of the time, expected to be for 2.2 construction seasons.

 

■ Alternative 4 — Close the segment of highway from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but open it with 30-minute delays before 9 a.m., after 5 p.m. and on weekends.

 

That would be throughout an expected 2.5 construction seasons.

 

■ Alternative 5 — Close the segment of highway entirely during the first construction season, then open it with 30-minute delays throughout the rest of the road rehabilitation.

 

Under this alternative, work would be expected to take about 2.5 construction seasons.

 

■ Alternative 6 — Close the stretch of highway for the entire period of the project.
