State Route 96 weekly closure mornings to mid-afternoons

State Route 96/East Lowell-Larimer Road will experience weekday closures from February 18 to May 2, affecting traffic from 6 a. m. to 2 p. m. for vital utility work in Snohomish.

The closures will occur in both directions between Seattle Hill Road (milepost 5) and State Route 9 (milepost 7), disrupting travel for local residents and commuters. Managed by the Silver Lake Water and Sewer District, this infrastructure project aims to improve essential utility services in the area. Motorists are strongly urged to seek alternate routes to minimize travel disruptions during the closure. Notably, local and emergency vehicles will still be permitted through the affected sections, maintaining access for urgent situations. The significance of this project highlights the necessity of ongoing utility maintenance to support community needs.

As such, this closure may lead to temporary inconveniences but ultimately aims to enhance service reliability for Snohomish residents. Travelers should stay informed about the situation to navigate the area efficiently.
