Progress on fish culvert project on Ballinger Way SR 104

Shoreline, WALocal News

Motorists struggle with detours around the construction on SR 104/Ballinger Way for a fish culvert project. One driver reported receiving a speeding ticket after focusing too intently on detour signs, indicating a need for clearer communication about speed limits. Drone photographs from David Carlos reveal extensive excavation work, which has altered the landscape of Ballinger Way and impacted local traffic patterns. The construction extends right up to adjacent property lines, raising concerns about safety and accessibility. Additionally, a recent incident involved a tree falling on an excavator, trapping the driver until rescue services intervened.

Shoreline Fire responded to the emergency, highlighting the risks associated with ongoing construction. This project aims to improve fish passage in the area, but the current detours and incidents illustrate the immediate challenges faced by motorists. Local officials may need to reassess detour signage and safety measures to mitigate these issues.
