Point Fosdick Dr NW - Stone Dr NW to Gig Harbor City Limits (CRP 5880)
What's Happening
Work to resurface a section of Point Fosdick Drive Northwest began May 31. Resurfacing work was completed mid-July and crews are waiting on materials to finish the guardrail. Project completion is expected in early September.
The approximately 1-mile stretch runs from just north of Stone Drive Northwest to approximately 325 feet south of 36th Street Northwest, where Point Fosdick Drive Northwest enters Gig Harbor city limits.
About the Project Planned improvements to Point Fosdick Drive Northwest from Stone Drive Northwest to the Gig Harbor City Limits (CRP 5880) are intended to preserve the existing roadway and restore a smooth surface.
The existing pavement is made of concrete. The pavement will be fractured through a process called crack and seat, which provides a firm and stable base, and then topped with a new layer of asphalt to provide a smooth surface.
Crews will install guardrail at several locations through the project area.
Traffic Impacts
The two-lane road may be reduced to one lane with alternating traffic during work hours. A pilot car may lead motorists through the project area during certain phases of the work.
General work hours will be 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. During certain phases of the work, work hours may be extended. Information about extended hours will be posted on this webpage.
