Expect night and morning single-lane closures in both directions of SR 7 from 188th Street South in Spanaway to Violet Meadows Street South in Parkland. See work hours under "What to expect" below.
Project overview
This project replaces existing rapid flashing beacons with overhead pedestrian signals at 11 locations along State Route 7 in the Pierce County communities of Parkland and Spanaway. Some locations will have improved pedestrian ramps, extensions to the median islands, turn restrictions, and additional pavement markings.
What to expect
Throughout spring and summer, travelers can expect night and morning single-lane closures on SR 7 in both directions.
Southbound SR 7 work hours:
- 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday to 10 a.m. each following day
- 7 p.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Monday
Northbound SR 7 work hours:
- 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday to 5 a.m. each following day
- 7 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday
- 6:30 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday
- 6 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday
Right lane closures will occur from 188th Street South and 155th Street South in Spanaway through early June. Left lane closures will occur throughout the project area between 188th Street South and Violet Meadows Street South. Only one lane in each direction will close at the same time.
Temporary bus stop changes
When the right lane is closed, people may need to use the next closest Pierce Transit bus stop during these hours. Bus riders are encouraged to check the Pierce Transit website for any changes in advance.
Bicycle and pedestrian detours will be available.
Once complete, travelers will see overhead traffic lights displaying green arrows. The signals will turn red for drivers when activated by a user of the crossing.
This project will make pedestrian improvements at 11 highway crossings along State Route 7 from Violet Meadow Street East in Parkland to 188th Street East in Spanaway.
