Ninth Street sidewalk construction begins

PORT TOWNSEND — A three-week sidewalk project has started along Ninth Street on Castle Hill.

Nordland Construction Northwest began staging equipment and clearing the area on Ninth Street from Grant to Hancock streets.

Project hours

Working hours are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

The city of Port Townsend received a $250,000 grant to pay for the project through the Transportation Improvement Board for Complete Streets. It will fund retrofits to provide access to the street for bicyclists, pedestrians, motorists and public transportation riders, according to a news release.

Bid solicitations were sent out July 12. A pre-construction meeting was held Tuesday.

For more information, contact project manager Tyler Johnson at 360-390-4062 or at tjohnson@cityofpt.us.
