Traffic continues to be reduced to one lane in each direction between Marshall Avenue and the State Route 509 bridge.
 
The contractor plans to begin removing pavement Thursday and will spend next week preparing the lanes for paving. Paving is scheduled for the weekend of May 21 and 22, weather permitting, and will require a full closure of this section of Port of Tacoma Road.
 
The closure is expected to begin at 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 20, and last until 6 a.m. Monday, May 23. Detour routes will be marked along the State Route 509 frontage road, Milwaukee Way and Marshall Avenue.
