Aberdeen, WA – The Port of Grays Harbor is notifying the community that night work to repave Port Industrial Road is scheduled to begin on August 21st.
Pavement repairs, grinding and re-paving is scheduled to take place overnight from 6pm – 6am on August 21st and 22nd, and again September 2-5th. The work will take place on Port Industrial Road from West Wishkah Street in Aberdeen to 29th Street in Hoquiam. During the overnight work periods, roadway users should anticipate lane closures and one-lane, two-way alternating traffic with flaggers. Crews will return later in September to apply permanent painted roadway lines and striping to the new asphalt.
Port Industrial Road averages over 9,500 vehicles daily and is a significant commercial and industrial truck route. It was last paved in 2010. Up to 86.5% of the project costs are funded through a federal Surface Transportation Program grant administered by the Washington State Department of Transportation, with the remaining 13.5% funded by the Port. The paving contract was competitively bid and awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, Lakeside Industries of Aberdeen.
Founded in 1911, the Port of Grays Harbor is one of Washington State’s oldest port districts and Washington’s only deep-water port located directly on the Pacific Ocean. The Port of Grays Harbor operates 4 deep-water marine terminals, the Westport Marina, Bowerman Airport, Grays Harbor Pilotage Services, numerous public waterfront access facilities, and industrial and business parks throughout the County. The addition of Satsop Business Park increased the Port’s properties to more than 1,000 acres of industrial properties and an additional 1,200 acres of sustainably managed forestland. Strategically located midway between Seattle and Portland and less than 1 ½ hours from open sea, the Port of Grays Harbor provides businesses a diverse portfolio of facilities.
