Overnight rail work closes access from I-5 to Steilacoom-DuPont Road Sept. 13

September 11, 2018 By Washington State DOT

DUPONT – In an effort to enhance traffic flow and keep vehicles a safe distance from train tracks adjacent to Interstate 5 at Steilacoom-DuPont Road, Washington State Department of Transportation striping crews will install supplemental pavement markings and enhanced signage Thursday night, Sept. 13.

During the work, crews will close access from I-5 to Steilacoom-DuPont Road, Wilmington Drive and Barksdale Avenue at exit #119 between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Friday, Sept. 14.

I-5 drivers exiting to Steilacoom-DuPont Road will detour to Center Drive (exit #118) and follow a signed detour. This work is weather dependent and could be rescheduled.

Real-time traffic information is available on the WSDOT app. Advance information for highway construction and maintenance is available at the Olympic Region Weekly Construction and Traffic Updates web page.

    Would like to see some consistency regarding the naming of the road connecting DuPont and Steilacoom.

    Some signs read, “DuPont-Steilacoom Rd.” while others read, “Steilacoom-DuPont Rd.” “DuPont” comes, alphabetically, before “Steilacoom”. That makes more sense to me. In fact, more signs, but not all, read, “DuPont-Steilacoom Rd.”

    More uniformity is needed here. Let’s stop this insanity, people!
