The Public Works Department wishes to inform the public that the following roads will have traffic limitations during the week of Dec. 28-31, 2009 to accommodate construction.
North Forest Street
Ebenal General Construction, under contract with the City of Bellingham, will continue the water main installation north of Holly Street to Ellis Street. Work this week will include site and concrete work. Flaggers will direct traffic through intermittent lane closures in the construction zone. Drivers are advised to avoid the area if at all possible, to use caution and obey flaggers. For more information about this project visit the city's website http://www.cob.org/government/departments/pw/projects/Forest-Street-Water-Main-and-Resurfacing.aspxor contact Project Engineer Mark Handzlik at mhandzlik@cob.org or 778-7900.
The City of Bellingham Public Works Department provides this information as a public service. It is based on currently available information. Motorists are reminded that weather and road conditions can change rapidly and should plan accordingly. When traveling through a construction area, drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are asked to be patient, proceed with caution and obey flaggers at all times. Planned road closures and restrictions are necessary to allow for a variety of maintenance work including resurfacing, sidewalk construction, water and sewer main work, and utility cuts. Dates, times and work locations are subject to change due to inclement weather or last-minute changes in work schedules.
