PORT ANGELES — The repaving of Front Street, the city’s westbound entryway, begins at 7 a.m. today when one lane of U.S. Highway 101 traffic will be shifted onto the roadway’s shoulder.
Two lanes of traffic will remain open from DelGuzzi Drive to Lincoln Street until 8 p.m., said Bob Dutrow, general superintendent for Lakeside Industries, the project’s contractor.
Then the road will be reduced to one lane until 6 a.m. the following morning for about 2½ weeks, he said.
The pavement will be removed and replaced for about 100 feet on the north side of Front Street just east of Lincoln Street, Dutrow said.
Parking prohibition
Parking will be prohibited along the 1.6-mile stretch of Front Street during the project, he said.
No work will be done on cross streets, except for the intersection of Front and Lincoln streets, Dutrow said.
The repaving will be done in sections, so if access to Front Street from one cross street is blocked, the motorist can drive down about two blocks to where the intersection is clear, he said.
