— from Shannon Wilbur for San Juan Public Works —

This week, the focus has been on the road improvements at McNallie Lane intersection and the portion of Orcas Rd leading up to it.

With improved sight distance, it will be easier for drivers to see cross traffic in both directions allowing them to safely pull out into the intersection. The turning radius is also greater to allow trucks more room to make the corner.

Please drive carefully and slowly. Work hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Sometime next week, the intersection area will be complete, the traffic control lights will be packed up, and the Contractor will move into the closed zone north of McNallie to continue working.

Note that speed limits on both McNallie Lane and Dolphin Bay Road have been reduced to 25 mph for increased safety.
