The Douglas/Bailer Hill Road Improvements Project is entering the next step as crews install guardrails and barriers on the north and south margins (both sides of) of Bailer Hill Road, near the False Bay Creek culvert crossing. Installation will occur Tuesday, Jan. 13, through Thursday, Jan. 15, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. During this time, flaggers will control single-lane closures, with one-lane, two-way traffic maintained for the duration of the work. At the end of each working day, the road will reopen to two-lane, two-way traffic until the start of the next working day.
Please remember to drive slowly around active construction zones:
For their safety: If you are around an active construction zone, obey flaggers and posted traffic signs.
For your safety: Excessive speeds may kick up loose rock into oncoming traffic.
It’s your road: Construction can move more quickly and safely when vehicle speeds are reduced.
The Public Works Department will continue to provide updates as the project moves forward. All related materials can be found on the County’s website: https://www.sanjuancountywa.gov/278/Current-Projects.
