Pavement restoration work begins this spring

Street resurfacing in Everett is set to begin in June and continue through summer, impacting key roadways like 34th Avenue NE and Ross Avenue. The project involves grinding down old pavement, installing new traffic signal detection devices, and repaving roads while managing detours and parking restrictions. Crews will work weekdays starting as early as 6 a. m. , with some night work planned to reduce impacts on local businesses.

This annual pavement overlay initiative is vital for maintaining the safety and longevity of the city's transportation network, which saves costs and reduces wear on all modes of transport. Regular maintenance prevents deterioration of the substructure, avoiding the need for more expensive road reconstruction. Affected residents and businesses will receive detailed information prior to construction, ensuring a smoother transition during the work. Specific detour maps and additional information can be found at everettwa. gov/overlay.

The project underscores the city's commitment to proactive road maintenance.
