A 0.7-mile stretch of H Street Road between Allan Street and Harvey Road is expected to be closed in both directions from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, August 6 to Wednesday, August 27. The closure in east Blaine will be daily except for Sundays.
Construction will install a stormwater system for The Ridge housing development and add a center turn lane on H Street Road.
Traffic north of H Street Road will be detoured through Allan Street to E Street and Harbor Hills Parkway, ending at Harvey Road. Traffic south of H Street Road will be detoured through Odell Street to Pipeline Road and Harvey Road.
Flaggers will guide residents and emergency services to their needed locations. There will be a temporary traffic control plan with detour signs and advanced notice posted.
Developer Skip Jansen, of JIJ Corporation, said the closure would be a minor inconvenience that was necessary to improve traffic flow. The construction is not part of the city of Blaine’s Downtown Revitalization Project.
