JBLM-North Access Road Improvement Project Update

February 1, 2021 By City of Lakewood 2 Comments

The construction contract for Phase I will be advertised beginning February 9, 2021. Construction on this phase is anticipated to start in April 2021.

Construction of this project will require significant detours for long durations. Extensive utility work and roundabout construction at each intersection will not allow the existing roadways to be utilized while construction is being completed. A list of detours will be maintained on this webpage during construction.

Beginning in April, the section of Gravelly Lake Drive between Nyanza (south) and Veterans Drive will be closed to through traffic. Construction will start at the south end of Gravelly Lake Drive at Nyanza.

    This video needs labeling of the streets involved. People new to the area may have difficulty understanding what will take place.

    What an expensive, unnecessary project.

    So….where will all of these drivers go (especially during rush hour) whilst this project is under construction?

    I know….we already see way-too-much traffic on a “thru street” (a.k.a., shortcut) that we live next to. And, I can think of a couple of other bypasses folks will use.

    Therefore, what we WILL see are thousands of vehicles, including school buses, racing down these bypass streets to make up for lost time caused by forced overuse of secondary streets. Where it says 35mph, we will see 45+ mph. Where it is 25mph, we will see 40+ mph.

    Will we also see increased accidents? Likely.

    Will we see increased traffic enforcement during this timeframe? Likely not.

    Ah yes….Veteran’s Drive….that’s been loads of fun, and it is still under construction.
