The paving work on 41st Division Drive has been postponed by the contractor until Monday due to weather.

The section of 41st Division Drive will be closed through July 22 for road work between Ohio/Colorado avenues and Nevada/Tacoma avenues. Closure and detours will be effective from 6 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. during site working hours.

Traffic to and from the residential area west of the intersection of 41st Division Drive and Ohio Avenue will not be affected. Traffic to and from the NCO facility on 41st Division Drive will use the NCO Academy access road to enter and exit the facility. Traffic to and from businesses in the adjacent area will enter and exit via Colorado Avenue.

Reader boards notifying traffic of the upcoming closure and detour will be in place at least two weeks before the scheduled start date.

Stryker Avenue will be closed from 41st Division Drive to just short of 14th Street. Motorists are advised to get on Stryker Avenue from 41st Street heading south, take a left on Mann Street and another left on 14th Street. Detours will be in place to direct traffic.

A repaving and widening project along three-fourths mile of Blaine Avenue between 5th Street and Eagle Circle is underway and completion is estimated for Sept. 2. Work hours will be between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.

The stretch will be closed to traffic except to the school and adjacent areas, with guides directing vehicles through the work site.

The repairs to 4th Division Drive (beginning at the intersection of East Gate Road and 4th Division Drive) will require the section of roadway from STA 0+00 to STA 42+00 to be closed and traffic rerouted via detour. Traffic entering from the East Gate is directed to follow East Gate Road to 2nd Division Drive. A right turn on 2nd Division Drive will lead traffic to a right turn onto the paved combat trail that constitutes the detour route and will allow access to 4th Division Drive. Traffic traveling south on 4th Division Drive will use the same route in the opposite direction.

Additional traffic control will be required for short duration single lane closures along East Gate Road to allow for a safe work zone at the intersection of 4th Division and East Gate Road.

During tree falling operations along 4th Division, short duration closures will be required.

No physical training/construction area signage will be posted along the work zone.

Access to ranges along the work zone will be available from approximately STA 44+50.

Access to the combat vehicle wash area will be via the combat vehicle trail.

The D Street Gate on JBLM Lewis North: The next East Drive project plans repairs starting at the end of the D-Street widening to DuPont/Steilacoom Road requiring road closure in July.

Drivers using Jackson Avenue near Madigan Army Medical Center should expect delays for a few months as contractors repair a one-mile stretch of road from the barricades near the Madigan Gate to Transmission Line Road. The project is scheduled for completion in August.

More information about traffic revision updates and construction changes will come as the contractor announces them. For road conditions, call 967-1733.
