A vibrant, welcoming commercial district enriches life, both for neighbors who live here and businesses that serve them. The new Boones Ferry Road has been designed to: • Improve safety and efficiency for people walking, biking and driving • Make business access safer and easier • Improve roadway drainage and sidewalk connections • Create an attractive, interesting streetscape. Madrona Street to Bryant Road is the first of three major work zones along Boones Ferry Road with a temporary lane reduction expected to last through early next year. Crews are working on the west side of the street first, then the east side, then the middle. Lane reductions are also in place on Bryant and Firwood Roads. As you travel a little slower through the area, you are seeing underground utility lines being moved, concrete flatwork for sidewalk curb areas, construction of retaining walls, installation of irrigation for future landscaping, street grading, base paving, and temporary traffic signage. Please remember, you are traveling through an active work zone. Be cautious and plan extra travel time. Instead of four lanes through the work zone, there are three: one in each direction plus a center turn lane. That gives crews room to maneuver and still keeps the road open, with flaggers and brief delays at times. When work starts on the median, there will only be two travel lanes.Construction hours Most work takes place Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Some work happens on weekends, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.; and nights 10 p.m. - 6 a.m. Get the latest Construction schedules change frequently due to weather and other variables.
