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.

Road Updates
Through August – 2024 Road & Drainage Project – Granite Construction began work on the 2024 Road & Drainage Project on Wednesday, May 29th. The project includes replacing many road crossing culverts throughout SVCA. Residents should expect minor delays as construction proceeds, and the work is anticipated to continue through August. Granite Construction will communicate directly with residents when culvert work will affect their driveway access. Please drive carefully and be respectful to Granite Construction as they work to improve SVCA’s drainage system!
