Plan ahead for Sunnyside Blvd traffic delays 916

On September 16, drivers in the Sunnyside area will encounter traffic delays due to the testing and activation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Sunnyside Boulevard and 53rd Avenue NE. The city will implement single-lane closures throughout the day to facilitate this process, urging drivers to consider alternate routes. This new signal is part of a series of traffic safety improvements aimed at addressing increasing traffic volumes in southeast Marysville. Additional modifications include the introduction of a two-way left-turn lane and the removal of certain on-street parking spaces. These changes are designed to enhance safety for all road users in the area.

Residents and commuters are encouraged to plan their travel accordingly to minimize disruptions on the day of the signal activation.
