Work on the NE 178th Street Sidewalk Project in Lake Forest Park is heading into the home stretch.

Utility work is done and the final curbing is being installed this week. A test section of pervious surface concrete is scheduled for installation this week and asphalt roadway paving is scheduled for Saturday, December 19, 2015 (both weather permitting).

Once paved, the road will be reopened to traffic, with or without lane-control flagging, depending on adjacent work such as sidewalk and electrical installations.

The remainder of the concrete sidewalks will be done soon, also weather permitting. This will leave placement of the pedestrian-actuated crossing signs, landscaping, mitigation replanting, and the punch list of completion items.

The new 21-foot culvert is performing well in the face of heavy rainstorms since the end of August 2015.
