Traffic Notice Demolition of Overwater Structures on Bay Street

Port Orchard will begin the demolition of overwater structures on October 22, 2025, to facilitate the creation of a new waterfront pedestrian pathway. The city anticipates minor traffic delays, with work zones managed by flaggers during the project. Scheduled work hours are from 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday, with crews aiming to minimize disruptions during peak commute times. The project is expected to extend into the winter months, enhancing the waterfront's accessibility and aesthetic appeal. City officials express gratitude for the community's patience and support during the construction phase.

As the project progresses, improved pedestrian access is expected to benefit both residents and visitors. Historical efforts to revitalize the waterfront underscore the city's commitment to enhancing public spaces. The initiative aligns with broader urban development goals aimed at improving community engagement and quality of life.
