Railroad Ave is the last street in this year’s program that’s in need of paving.

Since our last update, the contractor has been fast and furious in completing the paving work here in Edmonds. All of the streets in this year’s Pavement Preservation Program have now been overlaid except for Railroad Ave.

The work on Railroad Ave is on a temporary hold pending the installation of some utility improvements in the area. These improvements are expected to be installed during the week of August 22^nd. After the successful installation of these facilities, we will give the contractor the “green light” to pave and they will work it into their schedule.

We should have an update sometime during the week of August 22^nd confirming that the utility installation is complete and projecting a potential time frame to complete the paving.

Since our last update, the contractor has made some substantial progress and is looking to wrap up over the next couple of weeks.

This week, the contractor completed grinding operations on 96^th St, 224^th St and 72^nd Ave. They expect to pave these streets next week.

100^th Ave and 104^th Ave should see grinding operations begin today, Friday, July 22^nd. 100^th will be paved later that week but 104^th will have to hold off for some utility work to complete.

The contractor currently expects to begin grinding on Walnut St and 9^th Ave N Monday, July 25^th and pave these areas Wednesday, July 27^th. This work will be very disruptive to Edmonds motorists so motorists should be aware of this work and avoid driving in these areas.

Railroad Ave has been put off until later this summer as we are waiting for some utility work to wrap up before paving that road.

We’ll do our best to keep you updated so please check back often!

Sketchy unpredictable weather has caused some delays in the project but the contractor is continuing to pave during the windows that he’s able to get. Paving operations have already been completed on the following streets:

-        Meadowdale Beach Road/174^th St SW

-        185^th Pl SW/186^th St SW

-        191^st St SW

As the week of July 11^th continues, the contractor thinks they will be able to pave the following streets:

-        Talbot Road – Wednesday, July 13^th and Thursday, July 14^th

-        Driftwood Loop (Driftwood Ln, 8^th Ave, Puget Dr) – Friday, July 15^th

During the week of July 18^th, the contractor expects to grind and pave Soundview.

Updates will continue to be posted as we receive them!

Schedule updates have come in from the contractor working on the 2016 Overlays in Edmonds.

Keep checking back for the latest updates!

On June 8^th, staff from multiple area municipalities – including the City of Edmonds – met with Snohomish County and the Overlays contractor for a pre-construction conference.  During the meeting, the contractor provided a schedule for the 2016 Overlay Program.

The schedule currently shows the contractor moving into Edmonds the week of June 20^th to construct curb ramps at various locations in advance of the overlays.

The contractor plans to begin grinding and paving operations in Edmonds on July 5^th and work in Edmonds is expected to continue until July 22^nd.

All roadway construction operations are weather-dependent, but this is especially true of paving so be sure to check back often for updates.

Snohomish County has awarded the contract for the 2016 Overlay Program to Lakeside Industries. 

Part of this contract involves overlaying approximately 10 lane-miles of streets within the City of Edmonds. Paving work County-wide is expected to occur June through October but It is currently anticipated that the streets within Edmonds City Limits will be among the first to be paved. City staff will learn more during a pre-construction conference the week of June 6^th. Grinding could begin as early as the week of June 13^th so be sure to check back for updates!

In May, 2016, City of Edmonds staff learned they had won a grant to overlay 84^th Ave W from 220^th St SW to 5 Corners. The project will consist of a full width grind and pavement overlay along with upgrades to the existing pedestrian crossing at 215^th St SW. This work is expected to occur during the summer of 2017.
