Ridgefield Traffic Impacts

We’re now 16 days into the Pioneer Street closure for the Widening Project and significant progress has been made. As of yesterday, the contractor has:

• Identified utility conflict areas and sent updates to engineers for plan revisions.
• Milled asphalt at Discovery Drive and Pioneer Street to prepare for construction of the new roundabout.
• Installed 700 feet of dewatering system for deep utility work.
• Completed the first section of sanitary sewer (380 feet installed). 
• Installed 370 feet of water main. 

The contractor is working extended hours to keep the project on schedule and reopen Pioneer Street as planned by April 22.

To improve safety and traffic flow, crews have also updated road striping from Discovery Drive to Royle Road and installed traffic cameras at both ends of the project. Check real-time traffic conditions on our Traffic Page.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this important infrastructure upgrade. Stay tuned for future updates as we build a better Pioneer Street.
