Did you get a letter in the mail about the nighttime construction work planned on SR99? We recently did and we had a lot of questions.…
What times will the work be done every night?
“Night work will occur between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m.”
Any estimate on when the Green Lake work will be finished?
“We don’t have an estimate when work will be complete in the Green Lake area. However, I can tell you we have nighttime work scheduled between 50th and 67th this week and next week. Our contractors are working in segments and it takes a couple/few weeks to do each segment.
We’re approaching the end of the construction season, because once the cooler temperatures and rain return we can’t pave asphalt. If work is not completed in the Green Lake area this fall, crews will return next year to finish.”
Anything else you’d like to add for Green Lake residents?
“We need to work at night on this section of SR 99 because about 35,000 cars use this section each day, most of those during daytime hours. Paving during the day would force these cars to find alternative routes, creating a lot of disruption on surrounding roads and neighborhoods. We can keep a lane or two open during night work, which is enough to handle nighttime traffic.
