This week marks the beginning of construction activities for the Orcas Village Park Project. Drivers are cautioned to reduce speeds within the work zone on Orcas Road at the WSF Access Road and on Orcas Hill Road.
Estimated completion is 83 working days. The project includes the construction of a terraced car park and ride, approximately 650 feet of a new county road, electrical and lighting systems, guardrail, parking barriers, rock retaining walls, clearing, grading, rock excavation, and other work.
Construction Activities
Crews will be performing clearing and grubbing activities on site this week. Ongoing utility relocation work for the project will continue. Traffic Control will only be present as needed in the early stages on this project. Crews will be working Monday through Friday from approximately 7:00AM to 6:00PM.
Parking restriction will be in effect along Orcas Road at the WSF Access Road intersection to allow for construction activities and is necessary for safety.
