What's going on you ask?

It's a West Quinault Ave & Columbia Center Blvd. (CCB) Intersection Improvement Project with several improvements.

Starting Monday, March 10, 2025, a city contractor will begin construction on intersection improvements at W. Quinault Ave & CCB

Here's the new additions you can expect after the construction:

 Adding a left-turn lane from Quinault Ave to CCB
 Creating a dedicated through-lane and right-turn lane for westbound traffic on Quinault Ave
 Constructing an additional southbound lane on CCB leading into the Red Line parking lot
 Installing a new traffic signal, updating ADA ramps, and upgrading the lighting system
 Improving storm drainage, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks

Traffic & Pedestrian Impact: Temporary lane and sidewalk closures and delays are expected during work hours. Please plan accordingly and follow posted detours.

The project is expected to continue until November of 2025, so be prepared over the next 6-7 months to have some delays in the area.
