PROJECT FUNDING

The funding for this project includes American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds.  

PROJECT UPDATE

May 2025 - Construction is substantially complete for all project locations (see map above).  Coordination with PSE to obtain electrical service continues.  Shoulder closures and alternating one-way traffic control in the project areas can be expected to accommodate the minor work that remains.

Please note that the construction will generally consist of these phases:

  • Underground work (install conduit and prep for foundations)
    • All locations have completed underground work.
  • Concrete (pour the concrete for the foundations and other electrical infrastructure)
    • All locations have completed concrete work.
  • Poles (install the light poles)
    • Poles have been installed at all locations.
  • Wiring (install the wiring, perform an electrical inspection (electrical boxes, pole base, and aerial), and protect the wiring from theft)
    • Wiring is complete for all locations.
  • Completion (turn on and testing lights, correction of any deficiencies)
    • Lights are energized!  (The S 372nd Way/S 373rd Street portion of the project is waiting on the power connection with PSE.)
  • Finishing Touches (paint pole numbers on poles, install grout pads and toe caps, pavement repair, surveying, etc.)
    • Pavement repair has been completed.  Grout pads, toe caps and pole numbering are complete for all locations.
    • Survey work needs to be completed for final project documentation.
  • Final Inspection
    • Final inspections are in progress.
  • Tree trimming

The contractor was working to be as efficient as possible, so you may have seen crews in your neighborhood several different times as they completed each phase of the project.  Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

 

As of May 8, 2025, the project is substantially complete.  Thank you for your patience during this work!!
