The City of North Bend and the Northwest Railway Museum’s Railway Crossing Capital Project is nearing completion, with one additional road closure required to safely accommodate railway crossing grinding and paving on State Route 202/Bendigo Boulevard on Tuesday, November 25.
SR 202/Bendigo Boulevard, between W Park Street and McClellan Street, will be closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25.
McClellan Street will remain open during this closure. In addition, residents can expect a single-lane closure on SR 202/Bendigo in the same vicinity on Thursday, November 20, and Friday, November 21, while crews from contractor Stacy Witbeck construct curb and gutter.

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.
The four crossings are located at:
- SR 202/Bendigo Boulevard
- Main Avenue S
- NW 8th Street, near Alm Way
- North Bend Way, near Tollgate Park
