The summer’s second paving project along U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles begins today and will include at least one night of pavement grinding along a half-mile stretch south of downtown later this week.
The three-week improvement project will stretch from the U.S. 101 intersection with Tumwater Truck Route (state Highway 117), east along Lauridsen Boulevard, turn north near Albertsons grocery store and continue along Lincoln Street to Front Street in the heart of downtown.
Nighttime pavement grinding tentatively slated for Thursday may disrupt some business activity along the two-mile route, traveled by as many as 13,000 vehicles daily.
