Lake Louise Road Pavement Rehabilitation
This project will grind and repave all of Lake Louise Road from Austin Street to Lake Whatcom Boulevard. Stormwater improvements include replacing a catch basin at the Mossy Roc parking lot and culvert repair at the east end of Lake Louise Road.
Daytime Work Operations: Expect single-lane closures of various lengths and durations during daytime work to adjust utilities, repair distressed pavement areas, and grind, pave, and stripe operations.
Nighttime Work Operations: The project requires limited night work to adjust utilities and complete culvert repair between Tumbling Water Drive and Lake Whatcom Boulevard. As a result, Lake Louise Road will be fully closed between Tumbling Water Drive and Lake Whatcom Boulevard from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on multiple nights. We anticipate two to three nights of closure at the beginning and end of the project.
