Traffic information and access

Flying Cloud Drive reopened November 26

On November 26, crews reopened Flying Cloud Drive between Highway 101 and Spring Road.

This project is 90 percent complete. There will be one lane for each direction of traffic for the duration of winter. However, lane restrictions and short-term closures are expected when crews return in spring 2020 to finish work.

Speed reduction

Even with the road open to traffic, crews are still on site. The speed limit will remain at 45 miles per hour between Highway 101 and Charlson Road until the project has been completed in spring 2020.

Construction staging and status

The project is being completed in two stages. Both stages include full closures to through traffic. The closures are needed due to the work area — including steep bluffs and nearby wetlands — and to complete the project within the schedule. Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses.

Stage 1 completed in 2018

Work completed during the first stage included:

• Reconstructed the Riley Creek Bridge
• Reconstructed Flying Cloud Drive between Spring Road and Charlson Road
• Built retaining walls
• Realigned Spring Road and paving the new road for a smoother ride

Reopened segment from Stage 1 near Charlson Road.

Stage 2 will be completed in spring 2020

We expect lane restrictions and short-term closures when crews return in the spring to finish work.

Remaining work will include:

• Painting retaining walls
• Adding final layer of asphalt throughout corridor
• Paving multi-use trail on the north side of the road
• Completing final grading, seeding and landscaping
• Placing final striping and pavement markings
