Expect traffic delays on this northeast Lacey road for the next 2 weeks
As part of the city of Lacey’s 2021 street overlay program, major road construction will take place on Orion Drive Northeast, between Willamette Drive and the Meridian roundabout, over the next two weeks, the city announced.
Travelers can expect delays and detours at times during this work, the city says. Alternate routes are recommended.
The first stage of work will take place 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays through Thursday, July 8. During this time, contractors will prepare the area for grinding and paving, according to the city.
The next stage of work will shift to nights.
From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, July 8 and 9, and again on Monday through Thursday, July 12-15, contractors will pave Orion Drive Northeast. During this phase of the work, the road will be open for local access only. Detours will be posted.
During nighttime closures, flaggers at both ends of the corridor will stop all vehicles and allow only traffic trying to access Home Depot and Fastenal warehouses. Through traffic will not be allowed, according to the city.
Striping of the road will take place at a later date. For project details, go to ci.lacey.wa.us/ProjectUpdates.
