North Bellingham road closures could cause traffic delays over the coming days

Faber Construction has initiated road closures for the James Street and Bakerview Road roundabout project in north Bellingham. Starting May 12, James Street is closed north of Bakerview Road for 15 days, followed by a 10-day closure south of Bakerview Road. During this construction period, Bakerview Road will be limited to one lane, which may lead to significant traffic delays. The roundabout project aims to improve traffic flow and safety in a busy area of the city. Faber Construction expects to complete the roundabout by the end of June, contributing to local infrastructure enhancements.

The city has communicated the importance of this project for easing congestion. Residents and commuters are advised to seek alternative routes during construction. Local officials emphasize that the improvements will benefit the community in the long term.
