10th Street Intersection Closure 5/8 - 5/11

Beginning Friday, May 8 through the morning of Monday, May 11, Secon and the DOT&PF plan to pave the 10th Street intersection. This work will be performed for 24-hours per day and will require closure of the 10th Street intersection; traffic detours will be provided.

Travelers are encouraged to avoid this area if at all possible as significant traffic delays are anticipated. Paving will progress faster with lessened traffic congestion.

The following traffic detours will be in place:

• To access Douglas or Downtown from inbound Egan: Traffic will be routed over the Bridge to the Douglas roundabout: for Douglas exit the roundabout, for Downtown continue back over the Bridge taking a right turn onto inbound Egan.
• To access the Valley from Douglas: Traffic will be routed off the Bridge, taking a right onto inbound Egan and following signs to Whittier Street and onto Willoughby Avenue, traffic will continue onto Glacier Avenue over to 12th Street to access outbound Egan.
• To access the Valley from Downtown: Traffic will be routed on outbound Egan to Glacier Avenue at the Gold Creek Bridge, and continue on Glacier Avenue to 12th Street to access outbound Egan.
• To access Douglas from Downtown: Traffic will be routed to Glacier Avenue at the Gold Creek Bridge, and continue on Glacier Avenue to 12th Street, from 12th Street take a left onto inbound Egan and proceed over the Bridge.

​









This work is extremely weather dependent. Updates will be provided as quickly as possible if delays are anticipated.   
 
The safety of the traveling public and our workers is our main concern. Please follow designated traffic revisions, posted pedestrian routes, and never enter a work zone.

•  Traffic controls will be in place on Egan Drive between 12th Street and Willoughby Avenue reducing traffic lanes to one lane in each direction.

Additional traffic restrictions will be implemented soon to restrict left turns after 10th Street to Ferry Way; updates regarding those changes will be provided as soon as possible.
