City of Lakewood news story.
The contractor has commenced work along the section of Gravelly Lake Drive between Veterans Drive and Washington Boulevard. They are moving along with the final segment of water main along Gravelly and will be spending the next two weeks completing the main, testing, tying it in to the existing mains, and connecting services. Crews have also removed the existing roadway and graded for the roundabout. They completed the first curb pour inside the roundabout at Veterans and Gravelly.
Please note that crews are also working in the section of Gravelly between Nyanza and Veterans finishing work there. In addition, PSE will commence the relocation of a few power poles along Gravelly between Pacific Highway and Nyanza. Once those poles are relocated, crews will come in and pour the curb and finish the section between Pacific Highway and Nyanza (estimated in February 2022).
Does anyone know when the City is going to complete the new road down Nyanza to complete the circle around Gravelly Lake?
Hi, Ron. We’re pursuing funding for that stretch, but no luck yet. We applied for a few different potential funding sources this year without success. It’s on our list, however. That stretch is listed in our five-year transportation improvement plan.
Wonder who is going to teach “yield the right of way to the 75% of inconsiderate pieces of crap human beings that thick a round about is a free for all.
All the many many years my husband has gone to the American Lake V A never had any issues with the 2 curves (left & right) on Veterans Drive but, then some supposedly smart guy comes along & screws both of those curves up with ROUND-A-BOUT’s that are just about wide enough for one of those tiny cars that look like an overgrown grasshopper. If the big trucks & trailers & buses crush the raised surfaces so be it. Should have hired someone that could have just continued with regular roadway & saved your community lots of money.
