As part of the 8th Street Paving Project, residents and commuters should be advised of the following traffic notice.
Bridge Closure Notice for June 2-6, 2025
Work will take place on Monday, June 2, through Friday, June 6, to reseal the 8th Street Bridges. This will include surface cleaning and the application of a sealant to the bridge decks to prevent water intrusion and extend their service life.
The bridges will close to vehicle traffic starting June 2 at 6:00 a.m. through approximately June 6 (once the sealant has cured). The sidewalks will remain open for pedestrian travel during this time.
Detour routes are available. Please note that 8th Street will remain open between the two bridges. Travelers will be able to cross 8th Street at both the Pine & 8th and Cedar & 8th intersections.
Additionally, dividers previously located on Marine Drive (installed as part of a Washington State Department of Transportation project) have been removed. Drivers can now turn left onto Cedar Street from Marine Drive.
Please be careful when traveling near the work zone. Residents should drive slowly, be on the alert, and follow directions provided by traffic control personnel and signage.
About the 8th Street Paving Project
This project will remove and replace existing asphalt on 8th Street (between Lincoln and “A” Streets) and resurface the 8th Street Bridges. As part of this work, driving lanes will be reconfigured to include new bike lanes in both eastbound and westbound directions.
In addition, pedestrian routes along 8th Street will be upgraded to meet current Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards. Existing sidewalk curb ramps will be replaced throughout the project area, and new Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) buttons will be installed at the intersection of Cherry and Pine Streets.
To date, 35 sidewalk ramps have been upgraded to meet ADA standards. This includes the installation of new curbs and gutters, sidewalks and stamped concrete at each location. Existing asphalt on 8th Street (between Lincoln and “A” Streets) has been removed and the roadway fully resurfaced.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as work continues. For more information, please visit our website or contact the Public Works & Utilities Department at (360) 417-4800 or publicworks@cityofpa.us.
