Construction to close section of Boblett Street through December

A section of Boblett Street between State Route 543 and Ludwick Avenue will be limited to local access only during a construction project that is anticipated to finish late December.

The city of Blaine announced October 1 that the Boblett Street traffic channelization and corridor improvements project was anticipated to begin the first half of October. Construction is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The project will create a roundabout just west of Chuckanut Bay Foods at Boblett Court, widen Boblett Street to add a two-way left-turn lane, add a right-turn slip lane on Yew Avenue and restripe the area. It will also add a sidewalk, crosswalks and ADA ramp installation and replacement.

Crews will make an effort to maintain access, but brief interruptions may occur, according to the announcement. There will also be a limited sidewalk closure.
