Project Overview
What is the purpose of this project?
The goal of this two-season construction project is to:
- prolong the life of the Douglas Highway road surfaces
- update the pedestrian facilities to current standards
- improve current drainage features
This project will work to improve and resurface a portion of the Douglas Highway from F Street (downtown Douglas) to MP 0.5 (700 ft South of Cordova Street).
What will be constructed?
- Reconstruct pedestrian ramps, driveways and sidewalks to be ADA compliant
- Resurface Douglas Highway
- Improve drainage features
How will construction affect me?
Throughout the project there will be periods that traffic will be stop controlled. Secon will work to accommodate all road users. Traffic conditions will be updated weekly, here on the schedule page.
As a reminder to use caution when traveling in work zones. Please watch for and follow direction from construction signs and flaggers when present throughout the construction zone.
Will I be able to ride my bicycle or walk through the construction zone?
It will be necessary for construction to close the sidewalk and bicycle lanes along Douglas Highway to perform resurfacing work. When this occurs there will be alternative access through the construction zone for non-motorized users.
Will I be able to tow my boat to and from the harbor boat launch during construction?
Yes, driving lanes during and after construction will be wide enough for all vehicles that use the road presently.
Will the completed project change the configuration of the road? Will on street parking remain?
When completed the project will not affect the configuration of the road.
- Traffic lanes will stay the same width
- On-street parking will remain
