What to expect

This project is in the design phase. The community will be informed simultaneously about this project and about a nearby project that will build a roundabout on the intersection of SR 17 and Cunningham Road.

Travelers on SR 26 and First Avenue will encounter temporary signals, one-way alternating traffic, and detour routes for side streets. Traffic may also be controlled with flaggers. 

WSDOT will ensure the public receives comprehensive information about and impacts for both projects.
