Back on track

After being delayed numerous times due to weather, construction on Front Street between Federal Way and McKinnon Street began Monday.

The Wrangell road and utility improvement project will improve 2,500 feet of Front Street, and water lines and storm drains will be installed. Existing sewer lines will also be updated, and new roadway lighting will be put in.

McGraw Custom Construction put out a notice that work would limit car traffic through the area, but signage would be posted during construction to direct traffic. Pedestrian traffic would be allowed at all times during construction, according to the notice, to allow for access to businesses along Front Street.
