PORT ANGELES — Lauridsen Boulevard will be repaved during the nighttime hours beginning Tuesday.
Work will continue on weekdays through Sept. 9. The contractor will remove asphalt and repave from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day, except Saturday and Sunday.
Those living along Lauridsen Boulevard between Lincoln Street and Lauridsen Court near the Peabody Creek Bridge can expect noise disturbances and lighting of the roadway. Earplugs and thick curtains might help combat the noise and light disturbance, officials said. Traffic through the project boundary along Lauridsen will be significantly restricted. Barricades will limit traffic to one lane and one direction only.
Detour signs will be posted directing traffic around the project.
Residents with property directly adjoining the boulevard will be able to access their property. On-street parking will be temporarily eliminated. Night work was scheduled to reduce adverse impacts to vehicular and pedestrian traffic during peak demand hours and to increase the overall safety of everyone working on and using the roadway, city officials said.
Lakeside Industries is the contractor for the $933,105 project. The grant-funded project includes left-turn lanes at Peabody Street, new crosswalks with choker islands and other traffic-calming measures to encourage drivers to obey the 30 mph speed limit and to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
