Stay safe through construction zone

Safety is our top priority. The contractor, City, Tacoma Rail and Port continue to work with emergency responders to make sure they have access through the construction zone.

Remember, the speed limit through the construction zone is 30 MPH. Obey all traffic laws, watch for traffic revisions and use extra caution when driving through the port industrial area.

Driveway construction continues, electrical work begins

The construction of new driveways at Concrete Technology Corporation (CTC) is expected to be completed next week. The driveways are being built in segments to maintain access to the facility.

Electrical crews have started placing conduit near CTC.  Foundations for new traffic signals will be constructed at Lincoln and Marshall Avenues and the Washington United Terminal gate over the next two weeks. Watch for traffic revisions as the work progresses.
