Construction of Arlington’s 67th Avenue Final Phase project is set to begin Monday, April 8 and is to be completed early 2014.
This is one of the main routes cyclists use to enter Arlington via the Centennial Trail, and cyclists should be aware of potential delays and rough road conditions.
In the coming weeks, road users can expect the following:
Week of April 8:
Crews will be mobilizing equipment to the site and delivering materials and supplies to the construction yard. Minor slowdowns are expected.
Week of April 15:
Crews will be installing erosion control measures, saw-cutting sections of the existing roadway and removing landscaping in the project area.
Traffic on 67th Avenue NE will be shifted towards the east side of the roadway to begin work on the west side near the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum; two-way traffic will be maintained.
For an extended schedule, please visit the 67th Avenue construction page.
An easy bicycling alternate is to turn East on 204th for half a mile to Highway 9, which has wide shoulders. A quieter alternative is to cross over Highway 9 and take the next left onto Olympic Avenue, which becomes the Main Street of Arlington.
