Paving work starts July 26 on McLean Road

With the return of warm weather comes the return of paving season. This year, Skagit County Public Works crews will pave a one-mile stretch of McLean Road near La Conner, between Best Road and LaConner-Whitney Road.

Contractor crews with Lakeside Construction plan to begin the hot-mix asphalt overlay project Thursday, July 26, by grinding down the top two inches of road surface. Once grinding work is complete, crews will repave the area. Construction should wrap up the beginning of August.

Crews plan to work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Work is weather-dependent, so cold or wet weather could cause delays.

During construction, the road will be reduced to one lane. Drivers are advised to expect delays, and may want to consider alternate routes.
