Crews from contractor Stacy Witbeck will work during daytime and nighttime hours, with the goal of completing each project as quickly and efficiently as possible. Drivers can expect clearly marked detours and information boards at each location. Messaging boards will be installed prior to each road closure.

Following the Council’s unanimous approval of the resolution authorizing the agreement at the October 7, 2025, City Council meeting, two of these railway crossing projects have been completed so far in October and November:

SR 202/Bendigo Boulevard
Main Avenue S

The project is a result of a $4.8 million 2023 Rail-Highway Crossing Program grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Once finished, the four railway crossings will enhance travel quality and safety with new concrete panels, tracks, crossing gates, signals, and cantilevered flashing lights. In addition, the tracks between SR 202/Bendigo Boulevard and Main Avenue have been relocated approximately 14 feet south along McClellan Street to make room for future parking improvements in this area.
